Memory Verse:
Create
in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me
from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the
joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Psalm 51:10-12
R
estore to me the joy of your salvation.
 |
| Renew joy...like this Morning Glory in Israel. |
Restore – bring back. Reinstate. Restore
to me…not to someone else…but to me.
Restore…joy. Joy—to rejoice or be
glad. It is something that you think of at Christmas time. Joy to the World and
all…. There needs to be joy all year around, joy doesn’t depend on happiness.
There can be joy…even in sorrow.
The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and
young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will
comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing. Jeremiah 31:13
So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again;
then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy. John 16:22
No one can
rob of that joy…of your joy.
As David
wrote about joy with a sparkle in his eyes.…
O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How
long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my
soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper
hand? Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes,
or I will die. Don't let my enemies gloat, saying, "We have defeated
him!" Don't let them rejoice at my downfall. But I trust in your unfailing
love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the LORD
because he is good to me.
Psalm 13:1-6
Salvation. Redemption. Deliverance. My
salvation. It is from the Lord. Jesus paid the price of my salvation with
His death on the cross. The knowledge of
that salvation gives me joy.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Is their joy in your salvation?
Prayer
~ Jesus, You are my Savior…and my Lord. Thank You for loving me…as well as my
family, friends and neighbors. For my heart rejoices in You, because I trust in
Your holy name. Psalm 33:21 NASB
