Contagious Joy – Shilpa Dhinakaran
“My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts.” (Isaiah 65:14)
Hello friend, today’s promise verse is taken from Isaiah 65:14. This verse says, “My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts.” Yes, today the Lord is going to fill you with so much of joy, and when the joy fills your heart, you are going to sing praises unto Him.
I remember reading the story of a church that did the same thing. Every Sunday morning, they would be filled with the joy of the Lord and sing praises loudly to the Lord. The people in the neighborhood raised complaints, and the police came and warned the church pastor not to shout and cause a nuisance in the community. However, the pastor told the police that he did not know what is happening to him and the church because they were so happy and were not able to stop singing to the Lord. In a similar manner, the Lord is going to fill you with much joy today.
You may be heartbroken thinking there is no more joy left in your life. You may even be saying that ‘no matter what happens, I am not going to be happy.’ You may even be suicidal and thinking about ending your life. However, the Lord says He is going to change everything today. When you commit your life into His hands, God will change it. Just thank the Lord and expect this great blessing from Him today.
Prayer:
My loving Heavenly Father,
Thank You for today’s promise. I commit my life into Your hands. Father, fill me with Your joy and happiness. Help me to reflect Your joy to the people around me and draw them to You.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
