How do you observe the world around you seeking joy that is not lasting – “joy gone wrong”? What are those ideals or promises the world promotes that tend to steal your affections away from delight in Him alone?
It’s not just “the world”; Christians too promote this subtle shift of focus—seeking a good gift offered by the Lord and turning it into an ultimate goal. Where have you seen examples of this? What Christian books/counseling models/talks, etc… have you encountered that encourage others to pursue joy, yet lack a foundation in God Himself as the source and end of that pursuit? What is the danger here?
How can you purpose to cultivate a joyful heart that ends in His worship and praise?
Write out your own words of worship to Him, the One who gives, and is Himself, our joy!
