Yesterday during cell, we were learning about worship. During our group discussion, Esther brought up a point which struck me. She said that she heard Pst Keith saying the nowadays people have stopped whistling....the joy in people seems to be lost. In our worship to God, how many Christians still exhibit exhuberant joy?
Hebrews12:28 says:"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our "God is a consuming fire" ".
Everything about our lives ought to be a worship to God....and I think God delights when we are joyful, in joy we can do many things that we often think we cannot...cos the joy of the Lord is our strength. In difficult times, we can be joyful cos joy is not dependent on circumstances, but joy comes from the Lord. However, I feel that we have to make a choice about it! Do we wanna wallow in despair or choose to tell God that we want to be joyful in Him?
Of course this is oft easier said than done....so all the more we need to pray for God to help us to be joyful in all circumstances!
