Chew on these:
#1: King Asa was the great grandson of the wise King Solomon. His father and grandfather had turned away from the Lord. But when Asa became King, he removed idols, restored the altar and gathered the people to make sacrifices… “They rejoiced in the oath, because He let them find Him.” (2 Chronicles 15:12-15)
#2: After the first wave of exiles return from captivity, Zerubbabel leads the people to rebuild the temple despite great opposition… They purified themselves, and “The Lord caused them to rejoice” (Ezra 6:7-11)
#3: Jeremiah prophesies a future day when God’s people will be restored… “I will turn their grief into gladness.”
#4: Galatians 5:22-23 “The fruit of the Spirit is … joy”
So what do you think? Where does joy come from?
