Is Your Obedience Based On A Trial or The Fact That You Have Joy In The Lord?

What happened to your joy?   The love and the happiness that you once had.    Is it gone based on what someone else said or on what someone else did?   Is it gone based on what happened yesterday?    Do you understand that the Bible says in Nehemiah 8:9 that the joy of the Lord is your strength?   Do you understand that strength is defined as the power to resist attack?   If you don’t have strength … you don’t have what you need to resist the attack of the enemy.  
Psalm 51:12 says “Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and provide me with a spirit of willing obedience”.   It may be time that you ask God for restoration.   To restore your joy and to provide you with a spirit of willing obedience.   There are many ways in which obedience comes.    Sometimes we refuse to obey until something happens that causes us to obey God.   Jonah was a good example of that.    God's desire for us is to obey Him totally and fully without our obedience being a result of a trial or a test.   So today make it  your determined purpose to obey God based on the fact that you find pleasure and delight in His word and who He is.   Amen.
