Let Your Joy Overflow
by Kenneth Copeland
Whether you realize it or not, you need the joy of The LORD. Everything in you is crying out for it. You may have tried to satisfy yourself with superficial substitutes like money, social position, success, even drugs, alcohol, illicit sex or overeating. If you have, you know that ultimately those things leave you unfulfilled. The happiness they bring quickly vanishes. And you’re left once again with that deep inner longing for something more.
Joy. Your entire being craves it. Why? Because if you’re to keep on living, you need strength, and the joy of The LORD is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Every fiber of your being is crying out for strength because you live in a world that is flowing in a negative direction.
18 : BVOV : MAR '14
