Joy does not only stand to demonstrate to others our victory over various things, but also shows our relationship and right standing with God. Joy is essential in helping us conquer problems we face in life cheaply. See Power of Joy.
The Scripture is clear that if God is for us, who can be against us? The key is to make sure God is for us, and to know for sure, we need a relationship with God. He demands obedience from us to His ways and instructions. Our goal should be to please God daily. “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31. Nobody!
What better thing is there than to know for sure that no matter what we are going through, He will be there for us?
The peace, comfort and joy in knowing that God is with us transcend whatever we might be dealing with per time.
Walking in a state of perpetual joy and overcoming victory makes the journey seem shorter and the load feels lighter. May you experience the joy of the Lord in your life!
Permission To Experience Joy
Too often people deny themselves permission to experience joy in their lives. For whatever reason, they may feel unworthy of God’s love or receiving the joy that obedience to Him will bring. If you are having problems receiving joy, ask God for help and He will surely answer you.
When you yield to worshiping God in praise and worship, renewing Your mind, accessing Gods divine guidance, words and actions,meditate on God's word daily - you are demonstrating your dependence on Him and acknowledging His Lordship over your life - giving Him permission to fill you with joy.
There is no greater feeling and state of being that I know, than being in His Presence and experiencing His joy! Let us bless the Lord, and forget not all His benefits. “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.” Psalm 103:2-5.
