GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

JOYFUL HEART

JOYFUL HEART

Scripture Reading: Psalms 63:1-11
Devotional:- “My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips” (V. 5)

    It is going to be difficult for a sorrowful heart to praise God (Proverbs 25:20). That is why we must always fellowship with the Holy Spirit so that we can always bear the fruit of joy. The reason why many people in Church and even in the choir do not always praise God is sorrow. It will be challenging to combine sorrow and praises (Psalms 137:1-6). So, we need a joyful heart to be able to praise the Lord.

The word of God says, my soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise you with a joyful heart. To maintain a joyful heart, we must allow the Spirit of God to rule over our heart. It is then we can bear joy as one of the fruits of our lives (Galatians 5:22). We must also take pleasure in the will of God and putting our hope in God. Be patient and be satisfied with God. The Psalmist says, my soul shall be satisfied in God.

Friend, not many things give us joy in this world. We sometimes put ourselves in sorrow when we don’t have corresponding action of faith with our expectations. So therefore, any time the expected result is not coming, we easily get disturbed. But we are the one who did not act in obedience to God. When our hope and expectations become delayed, we become discouraged (Proverbs 13:12). We must be willing to keep a consistent work of faith with the Holy Spirit. Then we can keep a joyful heart to be praiseful. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me unending grace for joy

“A JOYFUL HEART WILL EASILY PRAISE GOD”
