A Word for Joy
.jpg)
"Your daily time in God’s word is not ultimately about knowing new things, but about delighting in God. Personal devotions are not merely about understanding his Book, but about finding him in it and enjoying who you find. The happy, godly man does not love the world, “but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:2).
Jeremiah said, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts” (Jeremiah 15:16). When we are God’s, his words become an unlimited source of true joy — the joy we all need every day, regardless of our circumstances. We all need help finding daily joy in God for our life — for the exciting and mundane, the vocational and recreational, the personal and relational. In short, we all need to learn to read the Bible for joy."
