Marked by joy

You have revealed the paths of life to me; you will fill me with gladness in your presence. (Acts 2:28)

David’s words that Peter quoted really struck me today.

Can we say with that same confidence that David had, “You have revealed the paths of life to me; I have no doubt that you will fill me with gladness in your presence”?

If we believe this, the Christian life becomes a joy.

Devoting ourselves to the Word, to prayer, and spending time with other Christians won’t be mere duties to us. But they’ll be things that actually fill us with joy.

And people around us will notice. (46-47)

Father, you have revealed the paths of life to me through your Son. You will fill me with gladness in your presence.

May my life be so marked by joy that those around me notice and are attracted to you.
