12.14.08

Over the next 7 days, we will journey down the road with 'Joy.' What does true joy look like? What does it feel like? How do we get it? Why do we so often become complacent with so much less than real joy? And how does Jesus fit in with it all?

Read Psalm 19:7-9

David Crowder writes of this passage in his book Praise Habit:

"The writer of this psalm finds the Maker in the creation and also in the very commands of God, His written Word. Can we stare into Scripture with as much love? Are we really to find the Law of the Lord as good as sunshine? What would it look like if we finally understood why David couldn't quit talking about the greatness of God's laws? I'm not certain, but if we're having difficulty graping this, we're not alone. God had to wrap the Law in skin and bones and have it come stare us in the face for us to "get it." He had to give us pictures of the Law redefined - of the Law bringing healing to the afflicted, help to the helpless, and love the least. Let love for God's Word fall from our mouths and drip from our lives."

Let's ask the tough questions and walk down this road together.

Join us for Joy.
