How Full is Your Joy Bucket? How would you rate your joy level? Does your joy bucket sometimes have a leak? Let’s investigate why our joy level fluctuates. There can be many reasons joy slips away: from stress, to not spending time with God in His Word, not taking time to worship, to neglect, even to really crappy circumstances. Don’t let a joy deficit become a normal experience for you. Do not let go of your joy. Let’s determine to increase your joy level. Psalms 100 is a great place to start increasing your joy. Be self aware enough to recognize what makes your joy level fluctuate. God is working in you, and He’s got more than enough joy to go around. Get all you can!
Here all 5 verses of Psalms 100.
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;[a]
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Confession: I enter today with thanksgiving and praise. I believe my joy level will increase from today forward.
