O clap your hands, all peoples; shout to God with the voice of joy…Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises…sing praises…sing praises…God reigns…He is highly exalted. (Psalm 47:1,6,8,9 NASB) I woke up feeling a little off. Too many thoughts ran through my mind. Too many things for my to-do list. Too much. My mind…

Joy Is A Weapon
Joy is a weapon. The Lord has reminded me of this. Years ago, He spoke it and taught it to me. But He reminded me of it a few days ago by reminding my husband. And I needed the reminder. Joy is a weapon. This is so incredibly important to know and understand as believers.…
The Joy of the Lord
I like to talk about joy a lot. But I don’t think we can ever talk about it too much as we walk by faith in this world. Jesus is my joy. He is my salvation. The joy of the Lord is fellowship with Him. Jesus is where my joy comes from. In this world,…
God’s Word, My Delight
There have been days and seasons when I have felt like Jeremiah. I’m not talking about the bad days he had, because he had plenty of those! I’m talking about his desire for God, for truth, for righteousness, for the Word of God. This post is my praise to my God for His answering me,…
Joy or Sorrow?
In all things, there is joy and sorrow. In the most incredible, joyous things, there is a piece of sorrow. And in the most horrible, sorrowful things there is a touch of joy, somewhere. In all things, I have a choice. I can dwell on the joy. Or I can dwell on the sorrow. I…

Keep Fighting
He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him (Psalm 126:6). Is this scripture talking about Jesus, or me, or both? Jesus sowed in tears. He had a lot of good days but He also had a lot…
A Broken Record of Praise
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises (Psalm 98:4 NASB). Shout joyfully and sing praises. It’s the same theme I keep seeing, and recording. The one that speaks to me every time, Lord. I’m feeling like a broken record as I write. Actually, I suppose You’re…
Shout Joyfully!
O Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; Let us shout joyfully…Let us come…with thanksgiving…For the Lord is a great God. (Psalm 95:1-3 NASB) Just because He’s a great God, we praise and shout joyfully. Just because He’s great. I love this Psalm. There’s nothing complicated here. Nothing I need to figure out.…
It’s What He Does
For Thou, O Lord, hast made me glad by what Thou hast done, I will sing for joy at the works of Thy hands (Psalm 92:4 NASB). You have done amazing things because it’s what You do. It’s who You are. You have done amazing things in me because it’s what You do. It’s who…
