There are so many scriptures in the Bible on Joy. It is mentioned in almost every book of the Bible, and in all about 215 times. WOW! It you add all of the scriptures about rejoicing, being joyful, being glad and gladness, there are almost too many to count! Here are a few of my favorite Joy Scriptures:
We are to count it all joy whatever our circumstances. James 1:2.
God will fill you with joy in His presence, and at his right hand are pleasures forevermore. Ps 16:11
With joy will you draw water from the well of salvation. Is 12:3
Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be full. John 16:24
For the kingdom of God is not just eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17
One thing Christians have as a big advantage is emotional strength because we can live in the joy of the Lord. It doesn’t matter what our circumstances look like, we can still be joyful. We don’t have to be moved by what we see or feel. We’ve read the end of the book, and we win! Even if life is tough this side of heaven, we still have heaven to look forward to. And heaven is a win! Earth is very short, while heaven is very long. Life is more than just a pursuit of happiness; it is living in the joy of the Lord on a daily basis! We get to enjoy the journey, on the way to our fabulous destination. So can you have more joy in your life everyday? Yes you can!
