The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. (Psalm 28:7 NIV)
Today I am truly touched by the joy of The Lord. I don't know how to describe it, I cannot define it, it's just part of my being.
We had what could have been a potentially difficult meeting tonight but because of the faith of believers, everything was conducted in peace and love. And it brought me joy in abundance to witness such love and understanding of the Father's will.
I see and feel the joy of The Lord all around me. God is gracious to even the most 'useless' sinner. Even in our unfaithfulness, God is faithful.
I love how God manifests His power in the little things so that I am forced to sit up and take note. It often happens when I least expect it. When I go into a meeting and fear the worst, then God surprises. It's either a solution to a problem never expected or He gives me strength to face the challenge.
Often I've imagined the situation would come to some blow-out and then visualized how I would crumble and cry. But I tell you, The Lord has given me inexplicable courage. And yes it's inexplicable because its supernatural by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Father gives me confidence in the truth when I have lost hope.
My heart fills with songs of joy Oh Lord.
There is no better place than at your feet.
