The Holiness Of Joy

Wednesday, January 6, 2021

What do you think of when you hear the word spiritual? A holy man? Most people picture someone who is somber or beyond this world, someone mystical or transcendent. Acts 13:52 says the disciples were, "filled with great joy and the Holy Spirit." Joy and the Holy Spirit - they go together. You see, The Spirit gives joy and joy is of the Spirit, it's spiritual. Joy is even listed as one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. The most spiritual people are those who have joy. Those believers filled with the Spirit rejoice in the love of God from morning to night. The good news is, since joy is of the Spirit, it isn't dependent on the flesh, the world, or your circumstances. There is never a situation in which you can't have joy, for true joy is based on the Spirit, and the Spirit is not bound by circumstances. So, rejoice my friend. Rejoice in the Lord always. Rejoice in the Lord now. For it's time to get spiritual, and the spiritual are those who rejoice!rn
