Strength and Joy
God gives us joy like a child full of wonder, strength like a child full of life.
“Honor and majesty surround Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.”
1 Chronicles 16:27 (NLT)
Strength and joy fills God’s dwelling, and we are that dwelling place of God. His own strength and joy are filling us at all times.
This is what is truly most natural to us as God’s children, to be joyful and full of God’s happiness, to be uplifted and full of God’s strength. This is our normal way of being.
Joy is our natural state, and it’s God’s joy in us.
Strength is our natural state, and it’s God’s strength in us.
A Prayer: Dear Father, I see You want me to live like a child, full of wonder, able to be carefree, full of life and vigor. I want to enjoy all the beauties of life and all the joys found in Your presence in me. I really do feel like a child again with You.
