DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2014

GOD'S JOY, MY STRENGTH

In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
  Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
  At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD. ZEPHANIAH 3:16-20

 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. NEHEMIAH 8:10

 I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. SONG OF SOLOMON 5:1

 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. MATTHEW 25:21
