Do you know that the wisdom and knowledge of God is directly involved with your joy?
The Bible says the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10) but there is more than that…
The joy of the wisdom of the Lord and the knowledge of God gives us joy in the midst of troubled times. God wants to reveal to us what we are to do with our lives, our business, everything. It’s not enough in today’s time to have a Wednesday-Sunday God, but He wants to be the Lord of our lives every day of the week.
Do you need joy in your life? Of course, we all do. There is a difference between joy and happiness. Happiness is like a butterfly. It will light on you and flutter away, leaving you with other emotions. But joy is solid and steadfast, just like the Lord. Joy does not change, just like the Lord. You can experience joy even in the midst of trouble. Joy is a non-wavering calm and peace that engulfs our entire being. There is no fear in joy!
But where does this joy come from and how can we get it?
For the person who pleases Him, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy… Ecc. 2:26 (Amplified Bible)
His ways bring joy… when we please Him…
Are your ways pleasing the Lord? Are you kind and helpful to others? Are you worshipping and praying with other believers? Are you living out the life He called you to? Are you bringing your tithe to the Lord? Are you giving of yourself to the Lord in service other than the tithe and offering?
The main question is this, are your surrendered to Jesus in all things?
Another thought, are your finances surrendered to the Lord?
Have you given the Lord your house? Dedicate your house to the Lord. Separate everything to the Lord. Thank him that you have a place to live and give that place over to Him.
Thank you Lord, that you have provided me a safe dwelling place to live. This is your house, your house payment, your car, your bills...
When we give everything to the Lord, He is pleased.
He says it pleases me that you are the Lord’s Monday through Sunday
His ways are prosperous… One of His names is Wonderful counselor...
You can go to Him and seek His counsel. If you know Him as your Lord and Savior, He waits for you to come to Him in prayer. He will reveal Himself to you and give you insight as to what you need to do.
He will tell you when to buy, sell, move, stand still. The steps of a good and righteous man or woman are ordered of God. (Psalm 37:23)
Meditate about this and seek God’s wisdom and knowledge. He will answer.
May you prosper even as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2)
In the name of Jesus.
