GOD IS AWESOME

SATURDAY FOCUS (Psalm 100)

Joy in the Lord
SATURDAY FOCUS

The following passages remind us that joy characterizes the life of faith.

Psalm 100:4-5

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalm 5:11-12

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.

For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Psalm 16:9,11

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Today, take time to reflect on God’s goodness and allow joy to characterize all you do today.
