The Joy of the Lord

Along with completing week one, I have memorized the first verse of our scripture and my favorite part is Christ presenting me to God with GREAT JOY. Imagine that! We bring Joy to our Father! I was reminded of an anthem I have sung in my church choir. It is based on Zephaniah 3:17. Here are part of the words: And the Father will dance over you with JOY, He will take delight in whom He loves, Is that a choir I hear singing the praises of God? No, the Lord God Himself is rejoicing over you in song.

How much richer our lives would be if we thought about God rejoicing over us, His Holy and treasured posessions.

I long to "build a fortress wherein only GOD, His words and my heart exist together for a time" (p. 34). I am ready to MAKE ROOM. LINDA
