Great Joy

Psalms 5: 11 "But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee."

If your trusting in THINGS to bring you joy, you joy will only come in TRICKLES. Many people today are resorting to THINGS to bring them joy and so they spend a lot of time looking for THINGS that will bring Joy. The sorrowful thing is this, THINGS only bring imitation Joy, something that may feel similar to joy but it's not! That is why there are so many sad people in the World and around us because they are resorting to the wrong well for sufficient water that can only supply.

In the devotion verse, the spout from which our joy really comes from is our trust in the Lord and our love for HIM! That's right; there is JOY to be had even without the THINGS! Real joy only comes from the Lord and it is a lasting joy, even when all else fails us. Peter wrote in 1 Peter 1: 8, "Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:" As one's desire for things, is exchange for Trusting in the Lord, it is then that one will find Great Joy exploding in their hearts.
