More grace brings more joy!
Today I received my daily devotional from Truth for Life by Alistair Begg which had the above title!
We read the headline of this devotional as saw it as a sign from the Lord!
On December 5th, I sent out a devotional on our beloved dog Grace.
Last Wednesday we decided to get a puppy, an Australian Cattle dog aka Blue Heeler. I put a deposit on her and we will be picking her up in Ohio on Sunday.
We ran through some names and decided on the name Joy!
After all, a dog gives us joy don’t they?
They love you unconditionally just as the Lord.
They love on you when you are sad, they welcome you home and they are devoted totally to you.
The Lord gave us Grace and now He has given us Joy!
Isaiah 35:10 Those who have been ransomed by the LORD will return. They will enter Jerusalem singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness.
Joy will help relieve the sorrow and mourning from the loss of our Grace.
When we finally meet the Lord, I believe we become aware of all the times during our earthly life that He has blessed, protected us and given us Grace and Joy!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your blessings, thank you for your Grace and I thank you for giving us Grace and bringing Joy into our life. In Jesus name I pray.
Blessings David
