Joy 2

The Lord had made them joyful. ~ Ezra 6: 22 (CEB)(part)

Every day, they met together in the temple and ate in their homes. They shared food with gladness and simplicity. ~ Acts 2:46 (CEB)

KEY IDEA:
There is joy in serving the Lord.
PRAYER:
Lord God, the source of true and lasting happiness, thank you for hanging out with us people. When you are around our happy meter goes ways up -- even while you are revealing our sin and weaknesses. That is so ironic. I admit that I try to make my own happiness. That is a part of my own sin and weakness. But I know deep inside that you are the source of true and lasting joy. I want to serve you. Amen.
