I desire to put much more emphasis on God's very own words concerning all of this studying.
So, what scripture can you find where God is telling, commanding, imparting, to us things that have to do with pursuing our delight, gladness, happiness, etc. What can you find? Ex: from tonight,
Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Can you find this principle in your daily bible readings currently or what you already know about God?
What stood out to you tonight that caught your interest?
Was great to see you all and we Thank God for being in your life!
Grace and Peace are yours for the taking,
-James
Ok, so here are some verses that I thought about... they kinda go about it in a different way... instead of say do this like psalm 37:4 they say don'ts
ReplyDelete1 Peter 5:7
"Give all your worries to Him, because he cares about you." If I am not worrying, I am usually joyful/ happy...
Matthew 5:12 "Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward waiting for you in heaven."
What stood out to me last night, was when he was talking about Gods glory and my passion...
I paraphrased it " you don't have to choose between God's Glory
and your passion if you passion is the Glory of God."
this didn't seem like a new concept to me, it just was nice to hear it worded clearly!
You are so right! I love these verses you found, I think your right on target and I love how your re-phrased our relationship with God.
