“…[F]or the joy of the LORD is your Strength.”  (Nehemiah 8)

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of [H]is [M]outh, and shall destroy with the brightness of [H]is coming…”                                                                                                                                 (2 Thessalonians 2)

 

What is one to the other?  What the Glory of God is to Him,  the Joy of the LORD is to the Christ-ian.  The Glory of the LORD is God’s super power, He will not share His Glory with another.  When Christ shall destroy the Anti (c)hrist with the brightness of His coming, it is His Glory that shall destroy the devil.  God will not share His Glory with another. Without Glory God would not be God, according to Thomas Watson..

What Glory is to God, Joy is to the Christ-ian.  The Christ-ian shall not share his joy with another.  When we say that, we mean we shall not allow anything or anyone to take or steal our JOY.  Without JOY, we are  nothing!!! Just Like God is not God without His Glory.  God is robed in Glory and it is BRIGHT, so BRIGHT no man can see God and live.  WHAT GLORY IS TO GOD, JOY IS TO THE CHRIST-IAN!!! We shall not share our JOY with another…we must not allow another to steal our JOY.  We must destroy…pummel…Take down….hurt…our enemies with the BRIGHTNESSS of our JOY!!!

We have the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in our heart and if the devil (or his children) do not like it, they can SIT ON A TAC!!! That’s an old children’s song, but it is full of truth.

Reader, Do not allow your JOY to be taken, for the Christ-ian is nothing without JOY.

Godspeed.
