scripture

 

Isaiah 12

In that day you will say:  "I will praise you, O LORD. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you."

 

En Espanol, Isaias 12

 

thought

 

Happiness is based on circumstance.  Joy is much deeper than happiness, because it exists through dependence on God.  What specifically brings us joy?  1) Our union and communion with Jesus brings us joy, 2) our complete dependence upon Jesus brings us joy, 3) feeding on God's Word brings us joy, and 4) obedience to Christ brings us joy.
