I am @wizj.
For this week, I shall play yet another beautiful piece from DON MOEN titled SHOUT TO THE LORD
Joy is associated with humans whom are given intellects, wisdom and will. However, our will is free and neve coerced in any form. This means that every genuine actions are never forced to come by.
From all indications, certain circumstances would reshape and place someone on the threshold of wondering about so many things. And so, we hear words like "guy no joy o or i no get joy at all o"
This expression often comes when sometimes one feels discouraged or feels rejected.
Everyone desires joy and so on. But, how can we be joyful?
It's simply not in so hard a thing or so much a thing as we often think. To have joy could be in a simple approach to life such as not over emphatic about things. Not being too serious as not to free the self from certain burdens of time.
Life is hard already and so creating extra burden for the self but indulging in things that the body doesn't call for would automatically breed lack of joy.
The song says we should shout for joy. This gives a clear indication of hope. It means too, that God is the joy giver and so our lives each day should be geared towards that joy fountain.
The fountain that can never run dry and can never drown anyone.
Shout for joy for life. Shout for joy for providence of God.
Grant yourself joy by living simple and making do only with one can gather.
Overacting would in not way be a remedy to anything. Rather, the joy of the Lord is our strength.
LYRICS
My jesus, my savior,
Lord, there is none like you.
All of my days, I want to praise,
The wonders of your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength.
Let every breath, all that I am,
Never cease to worship you.
Shout to the lord, all the earth let us sing.
Power and majesty, praise to the king.
Mountains bow down, and the seas will roar,
At the sound of your name.
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I'll love you,
Forever I'll stand.
Nothing compares to the promise I have
In you.
Thanks for stopping by.
