Biblical Affirmations
Joy
Do you remember how excited you were when you first came into Biblical truth? So many folks get so excited they want to spread the news to all they know. Of course, it didn’t take long to realize not everyone got as excited as they did. Over time, the excitement perhaps dimmed a bit and then you learned something else new and, WOW, that excitement came back! That is all part of the true joy of scriptures. Sometimes we get deflated a bit and our joy seems to be diminished due to external circumstances, but our Heavenly Father gave us many words of wisdom to have that joy return to your very soul! We just have to get back to basics! Here are some Scriptures that have to do with the joy of knowing Him and His Son.
