You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine. Psalms 4:7 (NLT)
The joy of the Lord is inexhaustible, coming from the Lord Himself. It’s a result of His presence in our life. Psalms 16:11.The joy of the Lord is the effect of His rule and power in our life. Romans 14:17. When we are in right standing with the Lord, we are at peace and this brings real contentment or joy.The joy of the Lord cannot be affected, lessened, stopped, or taken away by earthly, outward circumstances because it’s heavenly and it’s from within the heart.The happiness of material things is uncertain and temporary just like those things themselves are.The joy of the Lord is the satisfying of every need, want, and desire of our life God’s way.
