I’m not a person who has a word for the year on a regular basis. A couple of years ago, I felt like the word “fearless” kept coming into my mind, and looking back, it was a good reminder.
But this year is different. I have obviously come to love the word “Joy” and the phrase “Choose Joy” over the last few years but recently I feel like God is saying, “you’ve only scratched the surface of what I want to teach you.” Like I’m in 1st Grade Joy and He wants me to move to graduate level.
Looking at the verse below - there’s no action required to be filled with Joy other than loving the name of God. I can start at the wrong place so easily, thinking it’s up to me to find joy within myself rather than finding it in my walk with God. But instead:
Joy = Resting in Him
“But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.” Psalms 5:11 NLT
