June 2: Believing Joy


Oh to

BE JOYFUL ALWAYS

sounds IMPOSSIBLE

only if you BELIEVE that it is IMPOSSIBLE

to BE JOYFUL ALWAYS.

But what if today is the day

TO BELIEVE GOD,

and I mean to

REALLY BELIEVE GOD

even if what you see

and even if what you feel

makes you question

whether you WANT to BELIEVE

that GOD is GOOD

ALL THE TIME

and that is THE SOMETHING

that you can make you

BE JOYFUL ALWAYS,

Hmm.

Would you BELIEVE me if I told you~

"What a GOD we have!

And how fortunate we are to have HIM, this FATHER of our MASTER JESUS.

Because JESUS was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now!

GOD is keeping careful watch over us and the future.

The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole"*

Would you BELIEVE me if I told you~

"I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When JESUS wraps this all up,

it’s your faith, not your gold, that GOD will have on display as evidence of HIS victory"*

Would you BELIEVE me if I told you~

"You never saw HIM, yet you love HIM. You still don’t see HIM,

yet you trust HIM—with laughter and singing.

Because you kept on believing, you’ll get what you’re looking forward to: total salvation"

*(I Peter 1:3-9)

Well

I BELIEVE what I am telling you,

because if it is from

GOD'S WORD

and

GOD'S WORD IS GOD'S WORD

and

because

GOD IS GOD

why wouldn't

you or I BELIEVE it all.

So I ask you again,

Would you BELIEVE me if I told you~

"GOD means what HE says. What HE says goes. HIS powerful WORD is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense,

laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one can resist GOD'S WORD.

We can’t get away from it—no matter what" (Hebrews 4::12-13).

Would you BELIEVE me if I told you

because

GOD TOLD ME

and

I BELIEVE that

GOD is

"THE GOODNESS"

in my life
