I WILL SING

Psalm 104:33 (ESV) 33 I will sing to the Lord ... I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
    Joy is a profound emotion it is often confused with happiness, we laugh and enjoy many things, however, true joy comes through an intimate relationship with the Creator. So what is the difference between joy and happiness, I am so glad you asked?
    Happiness is the ability to show pleasure or contentment, it is based on an old english term and refers to luck, so that happiness is contingent upon how I perceive my circumstances. Happiness can be a false show of how you feel or it can be a real sense of satisfaction with life it is an outward expression.
    Joy is the emotion that comes from deep within, it is a word taken from the french and is the emotion of rejoicing, more clearly to sing out of the heart. Happiness can be put on or taken off like makeup, or a hat, while joy is the overflow of deep emotions for what is good. I often hear my wife humming or singing, while working or just active in her environment. That emotion is what the Psalmist is exposing, while there is breath in the body, the person who knows Jesus will express the overflow of what He, has put in the heart.
    Is real joy coming from you, it can if you know personally Jesus, if you have trusted Him with your whole life, you too will express the joy of knowing Him. How, simply, clearly say to Him, I have lived my way long enough, will you forgive me, and will you come into my life?
   Know that when you desire God as much as your next breath of air, you will find Him!
Heavenly Father, You alone are the reason we live, let the very breath we breath express to You our love and devotion. May all our waking moments be in fellowship with You, and may there be a song of joy in our hearts to You. Bless the Lord Oh, my soul. Amen
