Inspirational Bible Verses About Joy
Nehemiah ch.8 v.10 tells us "Don't be grieved; for the joy of Yahweh is your strength." The power of joy as a spiritual force in the Christian's armoury cannot be underestimated. When faced with issues that appear intractable, that is the time to allow your spirit to be strengthened by a joy that transcends understanding.
The Good Lord has a sene of humour. A principle reinforced in scripture - not just in Psalm 2 - but in the beatitudes where He displays a set of values that turn the established order upside down.
We are told that this is his plan. For the least important to be the most significant - to trasform situations so that all we can do is lagh, for there will be no other explanation for how circumstances are miraculously changed, outside of acknowledging Divine intervention.
It is this essential paradox that is at the root of James ch.1 v.2 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations," because what our enemies see as an opportunity to see us stumble is in reality a springboard to experiencing spiritual growth.
