JOY

  JOY John 16:16-24  Devotional:- “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.” (V. 20) NKJV God’s word says when sorrow endures till a night, joy comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5). This is an assurance and evidence that what is called sorrow is not a permanent situation in the life of a child of God. This is because it is certain that when a night comes, morning is always the next. The night is evidence of the coming morning. This is evidence that what you are going through right now will soon result in joy. In fact, the tougher it is, the closer the joy. May you see it. The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope in our lives. Jesus said, our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall suddenly become a thing of joy.

PEACE    

PROVERBS 3:1-4 
Devotional:- “For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.” (v. 2)  


    The commandment of God is the wisdom of God (Deut. 4:6). When we obey the Lord, we are working in His wisdom (Matt. 7:24). When we are working in the wisdom of God, we are working in the ways of peace. The world does not know peace today because a natural man does not want to live in the will of God (Isaiah 59:8).

In our scripture for today, the word of God says, when we keep walking in his commandments, we will find the peace of God all around our lives. This is because His commandments are the ways of peace. His word will not command us to practice evil that will put us in any form of trouble. His ways are the ways of peace (Proverbs 3:17). 

That is why you and I must align our life with the word and the instruction of the Lord. That is when we will not join the wicked for their sorrow. That is when we will not implicate our life with the afflictions of this world. God's ways are pleasant and all His path are of peace (Proverbs 3:17). Walking in the way of God will make us walk in His wisdom for our peace and joy with length of days. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always choose your ways for my peace. 

"GOD'S WISDOM WAYS ARE PEACEFUL"
