The Humble Have Joy

Good Morning!! Being humble or meek, is often seen as being weak, now days. But meekness is actually great strength, under control,...God's control. Great faith, great commitment, and great determination are required on a daily basis to live a humble life before God. When He requires sacrifice, meekness trusts completely, and gives willingly. When He demands obedience, humbleness constrains selfish desires, crucifies personal ambition, and performs joyfully the good Will of God. 

 Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord;— Isaiah 29:19a (NIV)

It is for this reason that the joy of the meek is continually increasing. Their pleasure is not found in personal circumstances; their happiness is not derived from fleeting popularity; their fulfillment does not come from public success. The humble find their joy in the Lord. Therefore, the more they have of Him, the more they experience of Him, the more they know of Him, the more their joy is increased. And the more their joy is increased, the more they desire to plant their joy in the Lord and not in this world. 

Have you found that dependable and lasting and ever-increasing joy, that comes from a life of complete submission, to our good and wise and glorious God?

Lord teach us Your ways. help us to understand that; meekness is not a momentary decision,...but a way of life. Amen.

"Know this; We're all enabled and equipped to carry out God's purpose for our life,...if God said it, then it will come to pass."
