Worship at the WellSample

The Bible promises us that the JOY of the Lord is our strength. (Neh 8:10) 

The Bible doesn’t say we will never have troubles in life, but God promises us that His Joy will give us the strength to face whatever life may throw at us.

 When everything in our life goes smoothly and perfectly, it is easy to have joy. Why would we need strength in a time like that? It is in those moments of difficulty and challenges that we are in need of divine joy and heavenly strength.

 How do we find this joy in moments of hardship? Psalm 16 says, ‘In His presence there is fullness of joy’. So even when we don't feel like it, when we choose to focus our eyes on Jesus and seek His presence in worship, things will start to shift.

When we open our mouths to sing, the song will come. When we worship, His peace flows in. When we praise, the walls come down. When we give thanks, His joy will follow. A joy that exceeds our earthly circumstances, real joy that only God can give.
