- 2) As we love the Lord, continue in fellowship with Him, cherishing His Word, and going into His Holy house of worship . . . He fills us with His joy. As we spend time in His House, and in prayer, that joy just pours out upon us.
- 3) As His children, joy is our heritage . . . our heart is full of His joy.
- 4) We may be surrounded with anxiety, yet the Lord gives us consolation through our times of prayer and study, and that brings forth His joy.
