Overtaken with Gladness


He crowns you with everlasting joy. Let gladness overtake you and make sorrow flee. Enter His presence with singing and praise.



May's Message, Day 16:

Those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 51:11 NIV



We have been rescued by Him and as such, can now experience the inexpressible and everlasting joy that He has crowned upon our heads. We can be overtaken by gladness, causing sorrow to flee, knowing that He has promised and prepared all this for us. We can enter into His presence with joyous singing and praise on our lips and peace and tranquility in our hearts, without doubt, fear, or shame. Don't sell yourself short. Grab onto God's promises and make them come alive for you. Yes, life is full of trouble and days filled will despair, but when that floods and overwhelms you, remember, you wear a crown of everlasting joy. Wear it and wear it well. You're a child, but also a king or queen in the Kingdom of God.
