A river and its streams bring joy to the city, which is the sacred home of God Most High (Psalm 46:4 CEV).

Reflection

This week’s I Love the Psalms theme is joy.

Are you drinking from streams of joy? Jesus promised that through the gift of the Holy Spirit we would become a source for joy. “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (John 7:38 NIV).

Where the Spirit of God is moving there is newness of life and joy.

Response: LORD God, I want to experience your joy. Give me a greater measure of your Holy Spirit. Fill me to overflowing. Amen.

Your Turn: Is Jesus a source of joy in your life?
