2025 Christmas Music Marathon – Day 6

What brings you joy? Have you considered the meaning of the word, joy? The New Bible Dictionary gives the following explanation;

In both OT and NT joy is consistently the mark both individually of the believer and corporately of the church. It is a quality, and not simply an emotion, grounded upon God himself and indeed derived from Him (Ps. 16:11 You make known to me cthe path of life; in your presence there is dfullness of joy; at your right hand are epleasures forevermore.Phil. 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.Rom. 15:13 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit), which characterizes the Christian’s life on earth (1 Pet. 1:8), and also anticipates eschatologically the joy of being with Christ for ever in the kingdom of heaven (cf. Rev. 19:7).

When Christ was born, Hope walked among mankind and eternal joy was made possible for everyone to experience. I LOVE Romans 15:13. Please read it again, it is my prayer for you, “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit

Have a blessed week.

  1. Around here, we live with Joy and are surrounded by Joy most of the time since that is our mom’s name 🙂 She got that name because it is Gramma’s middle name but we don’t know where Gramma got it from.

    Beautiful music and a beautiful Testament. The thought that came to me while reading your Day 6 post on “Joy” was from Paul, whatsoever thing is true, whatsoever thing is lovely, if it be of a good report, think on these things and the Peace of God will fill your hearts and minds.

    Thanks for posting.

  4. Jesus gives me joy every day, anything less does not come from God. This is what I remind myself anytime I am down. Joy to the World, it’s Christmas time!
