Seek for JOY

 Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Seek the joy of the Lord…and I promise, you will find it!

            Psalm 105: 3-4 reminds us why we should seek the Lord at all times. Listen to David’s words: “Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.”

Did you hear the words seek and look?  What are we to seek and look for? 

• Wealth?
• Power?
• Possessions?
• Popularity and prestige?

None of those are mentioned in these verses.  We are instructed to seek one thing…..the LORD!  We are to “glory in his holy name”.  When we “seek the Lord” we will “rejoice”.  We will find “strength”!  “Seek his face ALWAYS!” the scripture says.

            Do you realize that “always” means……ALWAYS?  Even in times of heartache and loss; even when our life takes an unexpected turn; even when we feel anything but “happy”, we can still find joy if we seek the comfort, strength and presence of God in our life.

            Jesus promised in Matthew 7:7: “Seek and you will find.”  If you are a place in your life where God seems far away, persist in seeking Him.  God rewards those who sincerely look for Him. (Hebrews 11:6).

            As you seek the Lord…always…you will find extra servings of JOY created especially for you.
