TOPIC: JOY IN GOD’S HOUSE
Bible Text: Psalm 122:1-4
Memory Verse: “I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD.’” Psalm 122: 1, NIV
MESSAGE
Two wives were doing their laundry, mending their husband’s trousers pants. One wife said: “My husband is so miserable. Nothing goes right at work, and he can’t find anything good on television. Our home is a place of despair.
When we go to church, the song leader is terrible and the pastor is an idiot. The other wife said: “My husband is so excited.” He can’t wait to go to church. He loves the sermons. We laugh all the time and enjoy our family. It got very quiet in the laundry room as the women continued sewing the trousers. One was patching the seat of the trousers, and the other was patching the knees.
The Psalmist expressed his love towards God’s house and how he longed to dwell in His presence. For the child of God, there is no better place to be than the place of worship. This is where you can truly seek for the true and sincere joy. Now is the time to accept Christ. He will make your life brand new and give you unspeakable joy. Decide to come to Christ and you will discover joy in God’s house.
Are you eager to go to the house of the Lord? Are you enjoying God’s presence? There is fullness of Joy in the house of the Lord, be a disciple of Christ today and preach Christ; bring others to fellowship with Christ and enjoy His presence. There is no better place to be than the house of God.
Insight: There is no better place to be than the place of worship.
Prayer: Lord, let me experience continuous joy as I fellowship with you.
RBT Passage: 1 Samuel 8-12
