The Rock of Joy



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  When we are experiencing a time of sorrow, we may find it difficult to see joy. 

            In the book of Psalms we find valuable truth as we search the verses for jewels of wisdom.  Today, let’s look at verses 3 & 4 of Psalm 26. It tells us how to find joy & peace, even in times of suffering and sadness. 

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock.” (Psalm 26:3-4)

            God can use difficult times in our lives to refocus us…..to cause our love for some things to fade and our love for Him to grow. God cares for us with a “faithful love”! There are times when He allows certain things into our lives to open our eyes and our hearts to truth. We may find that we’ve been putting our hopes and dreams into things that are shallow and temporary. But when we rest in our trustworthy God…He will do as the Psalmist wrote and give us perfect peace…”IF OUR MINDS ARE STAYED ON HIM!” 

            We can trust in the Lord…..FOREVER! Why?  Because He is our “everlasting Rock”…. the Foundation of Grace by which we can place our faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ.

            Standing on “The Rock” in times of sorrow and difficulty can give us peace and sustaining joy.
