Living on Purpose: Are you filled with God’s joy and peace today?
Do you remember that old song in Vacation Bible School that said, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart? Do you still have it today? I hope you do, because as God's children we have lots to be joyful about. Be edified as you read I Thessalonians 5:16-18, and Romans 12:12. Humanity has always sought contentment within their souls, but rebellion and a lack of understanding are huge joy crashers. In Hosea 4:6, God's word declares, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge," and He continues to talk about how the masses reject His truth. What knowledge and what truth? He's simply talking about knowing who He is and following Him. We notice God uses the word "destroyed" because without knowing about the divine realities of absolute truth, we will not comprehend the danger of living without being born again. Oh sure, people can be moral and even somewhat religious, but many have never experienced a life-changing encounter with the one who created them. On the outside, they might seem content, but within their spirit, they are not developing into the person God wants them to become.
