God of our Gladness

Read:  Psalm 43 / Proverbs 12 / 2 Kings 3 / Acts 14 

 

Psalm 43:4 I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Proverbs 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

2 Kings 3:11,12 Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?...  Here is Elisha… The word of the LORD is with him.

Acts 14:21,22 When they had preached the gospel… they returned again… confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith.

 

There is a place our hearts can go,

A refuge no one can destroy,

For at the cross our God will show

His love, the fountain of our joy.

 

The Word of God dispels our sadness

And sets our hearts on things above,

For sorrow is replaced by gladness

When we recall our Savior’s love.
