Joy and God, may to many people feel like they do not go together very well.
Nehemiah 8:10 NIV
Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."
People who are close to God are not so convinced, they might even believe that that joy can be empowering, that knowing how much God loves us and cares for us, how He delights in us how we bring Him great joy . But more then that God is joy, like He is love, and peace, and justice and all good and honorable qualities we can think of.God is passionate pure passion, clean passion,undiluted passion. He is passionate about us we are His creation he exclaimed it is very good when he was done creating man.
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing."
When God is ecstatic over us He sings.
I like that and it's true
