COMPLETE IN HIS JOY
“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all the things it contains;
Let the field be exultant, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before the Lord, for He is coming”
Psalm 96:11-13a
Timeless, and Prophetic; words speaking to our past, and future.
These were words holding the same desire that came with the angel’s proclamation on that blessed night.
“But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people.’” Luke 2:10
Jesus Christ was born amongst us, to tell us, and to show us, how He so desires that we be made complete in Him, and have His Joy.
He explained, as He walked among those who followed.
“’I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.’” John 15:11 AMP
Just as happiness is fleeting, this joy is a resolute characterization toward life. It transcends circumstance or what might be called chance. Even in the midst of trouble and hardship.
Again, He explained, as He walked this earth.
“’I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.’” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]” John 16:33 AMP
“Delight yourself in the Lord, And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 AMP
Be Blessed.
