Hebrews 1:8-10 “But about the Son he says, “Your throne O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” Are you anointed with the oil of joy? Happiness is fleeting. Joy is everlasting. I cannot be “Happy” when things are going wrong. I can have joy and peace during my hardest times. Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble, fear not! I have over come the world.” Ultimately we have Heaven to look forward to. In our present lives, we can have joy and peace if we keep our eyes on Jesus. We know His peace
when we TRUST Him in ALL. things!! Righteous living, avoiding sinful desires; helps us with daily joy and peace because we are not constantly dealing with the consequences of our bad behaviors. True joy and peace is not from what we do or don’t do. True joy and peace comes from TRUSTING Jesus as Lord and Savior. Each of us continually makes poor choices. Jesus continually picks us up, brushes us off, and sets us back on His path. Jesus loves each of us through every fall!! Through faith in Jesus, we have Heaven to look forward to. In the meantime, let’s pursue right living, with the oil of joy!!!
