JOY UNSPEAKABLE

1 Peter 1:8 NLT You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.

I kept hearing the phrase in my mind “Joy Unspeakable”, and it comes from this verse but in the KJV. I don’t know about you, but I want to enter into this glorious joy, don’t you? God wants us to ‘live’ in this bursting at the seams kind of joy regardless of what may be going on around us, to find our joy in Him. If the birds can sing for joy, so can we!😊

God has so much more for us but we have a tendency to think, “This is as good as it gets” and we settle for mediocrity, for the status quo. Yes, we’re extremely grateful for all God has done for us but He wants to do so much more through us, and for us.

No matter how far we’ve come God wants to take us higher, from glory to glory. Now, my question is, are we stuck on the same level of glory we were at this time last year? If so, hear God’s voice to us today. He wants more for us! Don’t let’s look at our so called limitations, but let’s look to the One who placed the stars and planets in their orbit, who can do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond all we can ask or think!

If you’re stuck in a rut don’t stay there but believe God for new insights, new opportunities, new strength to be and do whatever He calls you to be. God always thinks big and we’re called to imitate our Father, so let’s climb outside our box and imagine what we would like to see in our lives and start calling it in by faith! New health? New strength? New job? New home? New opportunities? New inspiration? New get up and go? New relationship?

Whatever it is, as our routines get back to normal, let’s continue to believe for the impossible, and rejoice in the joy unspeakable which is already ours through Jesus - forgiveness, reconciliation with God, loved beyond measure by Him, surrounded by His favour, and greatly blessed by the Creator of the universe who never stops thinking about us - joy unspeakable, inexpressible joy! Woohoo! What a great way to start the week!😊 Amen.
