The joy of calling Jesus “Lord”

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have nothing good besides you.” (Psalm 16:2)

I was reflecting on David’s words this morning and thinking that there is a joy to calling Jesus “Lord.”

But we only know that joy if we believe he is good. That he cares about us. And that he deeply loves us.

Without that confidence, calling Jesus “Lord” can be frightening.

David had definitely tasted the joy of calling God “Lord.” You see it throughout this psalm.

I’ve tasted that joy too.

But I want to fill up on that joy more every day.

How about you?

Do you know the joy of calling Jesus “Lord”?
