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. Jesus likens it to a woman who is in labour. Women in this state often feel as if the end has come. But ...

Lamentation 3:21-33
Devotional:- “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not.” (V. 22)

    Very many people in the world have been made to view God as wicked through the partial information they are fed. God is a just God who does not overlook sin. That is why He gave His son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. So that through the death of Jesus Christ, we can find mercy before Him.

But the bible refers to God as being merciful. He keeps His mercy for millions and forgives iniquities (Exodus 34:7). He is indeed a jealous God who visits iniquity on generations. But the Bible says He will show mercy unto thousands of them that love Him (Deuteronomy 5:9-10). Even if anyone belongs to a cursed family, he only needs to give his life to Christ and start to obey God’s commandments. God’s mercy will prevail over him (John 14:23).

Friend, stop moving about with a cursed mentality. God’s mercy is enough for you. He will not be angry forever. His mercies are new every morning. It means each day brings new opportunities for a new mercy in God. It means your ugly yesterday can be forgiven and forgotten by God today. If you will accept this truth, it will be enough to set you free (Lamentation 3:21-33). There is no sin too great for God to forgive. Always run to God for mercy. He will have mercy and help you (Hebrews 4:15-16). If anyone turns from His evil way and be obedient unto God, He will have mercy on him for He is a God of mercy.

Prayer: Lord, visit my life with your mercy today

“ACCEPTING GOD’S MERCY WILL DELIVER YOU FROM YOUR MESS AND DEPRESSION”
