Do you remember that song from Sunday school? That song is probably stuck in your head for the rest of the day…my apologies…yet maybe it will help us remember the following thought.
That seems to be the message of this week for me. It has come up a couple of times in my devotions. How much joy do I show on a daily basis? Do others see me as being joyful? You know, that is a fruit of the spirit. Am I growing, showing the fruit of the Joy of the Lord?
Ecc. 8:15 (NLT) ‘So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.'
I am going to try to show more joy in my life. I have been blessed by God with a great family (at a fun stage of life), a great wife, great job, great friends, great things…I should reflect that. I also have a great relationship with God! And that is worth showing to others!
