joy

             "The joy  of the lord is our strength"
     do you know why the joy of the lord is our strength? It is  because the people rejoiced that  God  declared his  "word" over them. did  you  know that the "word" means  truth.and they  shall know the truth and the truth shall set them free. so in  a  matter of  fact "the  joy of the  lord means we  have a  truth  in freedom.  we can  worship God in  freedom.  we  have this  gift of freedom at  arms  reach. 
     I feel  in my heart  that  this  may be a  simple  truth.  it is  also a very  hard  thing to receive.  true joy,  true  freedom. why is that any ways?this brings me to my  next  thought...
     "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. lean not on your own  understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path."
     what does trust and joy  have to  do with each other? without true  joy  you  have no peace. without peace you lack  trust. you  see  when you  trust God  with  everything you  believe that  God  will do what  his words says. "God  declared  his word over the people." you see when  we  truly believe  in Gods truth  we  come into alignment with his  word. we come  to  TRUST God. we suddenly don't  have  this  thing  called control.  we have this mentality that  we are alone in the things we are going through. this is  not truth.  the  truth is  when we come  to God we acknowledge him. and  he WILL lead us.
     My question to you is this. Do you  want  God's true  joy  today? all you  have to  do is.................  ask  and  you shall  receive. seek and  you  will  find. knock and the door  will be opened to you.ask and keep asking, seek and keep seeking,  knock and keep knocking.
                  God truly  loves you. yeah you!
