Filled with Joy Because of God

Scripture: Acts 16 34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God-he and his whole family.

Observation: I remember when I received Jesus as my Lord and savior all the joy I was filled with and now that I have had Christ as the head of my life it should have even that much more joy, so why don’t I. My joy is still greater than before, but at times my thoughts rule my life and steal my joy. I get got up so much in the world and what I am suppose to do for money, acceptance and work I lose my focus on my God and my joy disappears.

Application: I’m only here because God has created me to be here, He is my love, my hope and my joy. Live my life for him only and focus on his desires for my life, not mine. My life is complete in him only.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for the joy you bring to me each day. Help me live for you and please you each day. May my goal be to make you proud of me by the man I am in you.
