Finding Strength And Joy

Do you need more strength and joy in your life? The bible says, “Honor and majesty are found in His presence; strength and joy are found in His sanctuary. When you have God’s joy, you have His supernatural strength. There’s nothing that can come against you when you are filled with the strength and joy of your Creator.

Notice this verse says that strength and joy are found in His sanctuary. One translation says they are found “where He is.” And do you know “where He is?” His Spirit is alive in every believer, but in His word He promises that He inhabits, or manifests, in the praises of His people.

That means when you begin to praise and worship God, either corporately in a church setting or privately in your personal time, God is there. You are in His sanctuary. Anytime you feel depleted or overwhelmed, just begin to talk with Him. Declare His goodness and faithfulness. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you. He’ll fill you with His joy and strength so that you can live as an overcomer and have peace no matter what your circumstances.
