Psalm 5:11 (NKJV) But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.
Psalm 92:4 (HCSB) For You have made me rejoice, LORD, by what You have done; I will shout for joy because of the works of Your hands.
Psalm 119:111 (TEV) Your commandments are my eternal possession; they are the joy of my heart.
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows on through the dark; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows all through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about. The Lord gives his people perpetual joy when they walk in obedience to him. Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899)
