Where do we find joy? I’ve been studying Psalm 119 with a group of women, and today several verses about joy popped out at me. Verse 103 says “How sweet are your words to my taste. Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” The author compares God’s Word to honey often, but I began thinking about what my favorite foods are-chocolate came to mind first of course!!
What food do you run to when you want something sweet? Do you run to God’s Word the same way? The psalmist says later in verse 111 “I have inherited Your testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart.” Where do we find joy? God’s Word will give us pure joy.
I began thinking-where do I run for joy? Do I run to chocolate to get that sweet little bite of joy? How many times do I run to God’s Word to find true joy? Grab some coffee (or chocolate:) and God’s Word and spend a few minutes looking for joy there.
Pray that God would remind you to run to His Word. Maybe that favorite food can even become a reminder. Ask God to help you remember His Word when you take a bite of that certain food.
Here’s a song about it- oldie but a goodie…check it out.
