"Joy is Found in the Quiet Stillness" |
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing. Zephaniah 3:17 ESV |
{that loud singing might just disrupt the quiet and many verses on JOY seem to shout or be loud}
22 Bible Verses about Joy
I will be adding to the following days each day:
"Joy is Found in the Sweet Time with Precious Friends" |
"Joy is Found in Hidden Blessings" |
" Joy is Found in a Faithful Father" |
"Joy is Found in Living with an Eternal Perspective" |
"O God, my heart can be so heavy at this time of the year when I reflect on the past. There are painful events that resurface & lead me down a path that is dark (sad, lonely, regrettable, etc.) and triggers mixed emotions. Please draw near in these times. Lord, be my Peace." |
I also find JOY in music

This is sooo good Peggy. You were in my heart strongly yesterday and I began to search and saw nothing of you in six days on YouVersion so I asked Karen via text message if all was well. She assured me. A hiatus is something we ALL need. I remember an activity fast we did as a church many years ago— for a month or maybe longer. What a difference it made to soak in HIS presence during those days of dedicated time to the LORD. I’m ready for that again. Have a blessed week— rest up. God has many things ahead….. love you sweet sister.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your visit & concern! I'm not sure how long ago it was but during my giving thanks in November, I think, I signed on to You Versions on our house computer using Google then somehow got signed out & no matter what I tried I could not log back in, wasn't sure of what email I originally used at You Versions nor password. I found out how to do something about it but then found out, signing back in that I'd lose my progress, friends, be starting over and worse yet as I went to my other devices, I was logged out. So frustrated I figured that I would wait to the New Year to attempt getting back & how God & I might spend our time together until then. I have gone to YV plans without signing in & that works, but have found I'm content right now this way. I do have many yearly devotionals that I have been doing & books that I continue with so who knows what God & I might do. I do enjoy soaking in His Presence & Study Gateway video teachings. I wish you a blessed & merry Christmas as this year draws to a close!
DeleteLove you precious sister & appreciate your kind words!
