Fullness of Joy

From Psalm 5:11-12:  “But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread Your protection over them, so that those who love Your name may exult in You.  For You bless the righteous, O Lord; You cover them with favor as with a shield.”

Spirit infuses Scripture with God’s joy

Rejoice in His masterpiece of each day

Nourished with grace, forwarded to enjoy

Always Holy, shall be His fruitful ways

 

From heart’s depths, God composes grace with joy

Righteousness forever breathes from above

Mercy descends in Savior He deploys

Forgiveness rebuilds empty faith through love

 

God’s blessings harvest His fullness of joy

Truth’s timely interactions, never gray

Promises of faithfulness He employs

Gateway of grace received, let all now pray

 

Salvation’s light transforms darkness of sin

Joy praises covenant of faith’s linchpin

From Psalm 16:11:  “You show me the path of life.  In Your presence there is fullness of joy; in Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

We would see Jesus, the great rock Foundation whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace. 

From Ezekiel 1:28:  “Like the bow in a cloud on a rainy day, such was the appearance of the splendor all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.“

Anna Bartlett Warner (1827-1915) was an American writer and poet.  Many of her poems were set to music.  One of her most famous hymns was “Jesus Loves Me.”

Everlasting Joy

From Genesis 1:1-3:  “When God began to create the heavens and the earth,  the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.  Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Early morning giants

Creator in its midst

Forest landscape stirring

His breath offers assist

 

Glorious sky blossoms

Creator brightens light

Sunrise worships with praise

Night’s glory taking flight

 

Vision of what He wants

Creator wakens rain

Parched wilderness transformed

Gratitude fills each vein

 

Salvation always near

Creator sharing grace

Gentle waters flowing

Life reborn in this place

 

Heavenly eyes look down

Creator turns new page

Everlasting joy sings

Nature’s gifts come of age

From Genesis 2:1-3:  “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all their multitude.  On the sixth day God finished the work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all the work that He had done.  So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that He had done in creation.

True goodness can only begin with God.  He shares the eternal strength of His love, which breathes into every facet of His creation.

The visible mark of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation.

From Psalm 19:1-2:  “The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.  Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.”

John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher and writer.
