The Joy of the Lord is our Strength!

 Praise GOD for a new year! Hallelujah KING JESUS! You are GOOD and WORTHY to be praised!

We thank you in advance for crowning our year with your goodness Lord! (Psalms 65:11)

Many things and situations have changed over these last few years. Loved ones passed, families separated, marriages broken, friendships disillusioned, job loss, economy shift, the list of woes can go on and on. We may not know the reason, but my Father use to say, "Just keep getting up, and putting one foot in front of the other." The answers will come by and by. 

No matter where you find yourself on January 1st, 2023. Find the joy in having your moving and your being in our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Find joy in knowing the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Find joy in knowing He is on your side! Find joy in knowing the One that can turn the hearts of kings like the river. Find joy in knowing the One who spoke to the dark and there was light! Find joy in knowing the God of the Universe! The one true and living God! He is ours and we are His. He is a covenant keeping God and there is nothing too hard for Him! Find joy in HIM!

Wake up everyday with and attitude of gratitude. I may not have this or that, but I'm grateful I have this and that. Set small goals. You'll be amazed how good it feels to accomplish even the smallest of goals. It could just be walking in the driveway today. Accomplish that and keep going! Find the joy! There's always someone who has it way worse than you! You may not be able to walk far now, but there's someone in rehab learning to walk again. You may be separated today, but there is someone who just became a widow. Find the joy! I urge you in the mighty name of Jesus, encourage yourself in the Lord and find the joy!

After a while you won't have to try so hard to construct joy, it'll flow like a river. A couple of blogs back, I said that I believe that 2023 is a year for the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and JOY in the Holy Ghost! We must contend for JOY! Find the JOY!

Psalms 98 🕊️⚔️

1  O sing unto the   Lord   a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 2 The   Lord   hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. 3  He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4  Make a joyful noise unto the   Lord , all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 5  Sing unto the   Lord   with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 6  With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the   Lord , the King. 7  Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 8  Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together. 9  Before the   Lord ; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the w...

Psalms 97 ⚔️🕊️

  97  The   Lord   reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2  Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3  A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4  His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5  The hills melted like wax at the presence of the  Lord , at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6  The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7  Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 8  Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O  Lord . 9  For thou,  Lord , art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10  Ye that love the  Lord , hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth t...

Jeremiah 31:15-17 🔥

The Lord blessed me to read in the book of Jeremiah today. It was so sweet! He first showed me Jeremiah 31:16 on 12/19/22. Verse 16 really comforted me, but I didn't really get the surrounding verses until today. I pray I can glean more from these scriptures. You don't need to seek a prophet, when you can get it straight from the Source: The Word of God. Jeremiah 31:15-17 🔥 15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. 16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. 17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border. My understanding: I found that Ramah, is a HILL in Benjamin on the border of Ephraim. According to Psalms 24:3, a hill signifies the ch...
