Read Psalms 4.
My God gives me joy. Joy is not "happyness". Joy is not "stress free" Joy is not a moment. Joy is not a state of mind. Joy is everlasting. Joy is something that's hard to put into words. Joy is definitely only something God can give. Joy is the light of God's face shining through us. Joy is something people see that Christians have, and they want it.
David has been through the hard times. He has seen the wicked and the righteous. David knows the difference. People today still ask for someone who will show good. The only way they can see true good is by God living through us. David instructs them to sacrifice and trust in the Lord. We must sacrifice anything in the way of our worship of God. Money? Sacrifice it to the Lord and trust Him with it. Fear? Sacrifice it to the Lord and trust Him with it. Each time we get closer to total sacrifice and total dependency on God, God gives us more joy. God is the cause joy.
Inspired Song:
I have these fears inside.
I need my spirit set free.
Can I trust You with this?
I trust You, God, on high.
No more holding back.
I trust You, God.
All these worries subside.
Your joy now dwells in me
All my doubts I dismiss!
I love You, God, on high.
No more holding back.
I love You, God.
I love You, God!
