The joy that we receive from God is truly a unique thing. In the book I've been reading it talks about how God's joy isn't just something that we have when things are going perfect in our life. Even when we are having hard times, and going through the lows in our lives, we are still able to receive God's joy. We just need to trust in God, and seek Him, with praise and love.
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord
I will be joyful in the God
Of my salvation (Habakkuk 3:18)
Our joy in God comes from our salvation in Him. For that is the most joyous thing that we as Christians could ever receive. Praise God.

Hearing God No Matter Where You Are
Today as a Birthday treat I thought I would splurge a little and buy myself a book or two. So, I went around to the books, one of them twice as a matter of fact. On my way home I heard on the radio the new Imagine Dragons single 'I Bet My Life.'
The song was written about on of the relationship one of the band members has with his parents. But as I was sitting in my car listening to this song I couldn't help but think that this was my relationship with God. One of the verse's says:
I've been around the world but never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies
But now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
Listening to these words I felt God pulling at my heart. He was saying, "This is you. Running away from Me, saying you won't ever come back. But I know you're heart, and here I am when you need me." When the chorus played, "I bet my life on you." I thought to myself the person I bet my life on now and forever is God. I do now, and I will till the day I see Him in Heaven.
Praise God
