This Forgotten Word!
"You have put gladness in my heart,
more than in the season that their
grain and wine increased."
Psalm 4: 7
Everyone talks
about happiness, but we
seldom hear the biblical
word gladness.
Few today use that word or
experience
its reality. That word is found nearly fifty
times in Scripture.
Deuteronomy 28:47 tells us to serve the Lord
“with joy and gladness of heart.” The people of
Hezekiah’s day “sang praises with gladness,
and they bowed their heads and worshiped”
(2 Chronicles 29:30).
John 20:20 says,
“Then the
disciples were
glad when they saw the Lord.”
Through the work of the Holy
Spirit,
we can have supernatural joy and
gladness, even during difficult
circumstances.
Add this word to your vocabulary
and let its reality fill your heart.
"When I am sad, to Him I go;
No other one can cheer me so.
When I am sad, He makes me
glad. He’s my friend."
William L. Thompson
