Waters of Joy

You will draw water with joy from the springs of salvation. And you will say on that day: "Thank the LORD; call on God's name; proclaim God's deeds among the peoples; declare that God's name is exalted.

—Isaiah 12:3-4

What makes you happy? Sometimes it's the special things, the holidays, the moments that are rare and treasured. Other times, it's simply being able to do the everyday, mundane things with ease. Drawing a glass of water from the well, more than likely your kitchen sink, may not seem like a reason to be happy, unless you have been without water for a few days.

Sometimes we forget how happy we are about the little things that life brings. When we do remember, though, Isaiah offers us a way to let God know how pleased we really are. First of all, he tells us to thank God. Thank God for each and every moment that stirs our hearts with joy. Call him.

God's phone is never unplugged or too busy. You can call him any time even when you're not in need. You can call him just to share your love. Now that's a good reason to be happy.

In the Flow

Lord, thank you for the things that make my life happy and secure. Thank you for loving me just as I am. Help me give all the credit to you for the things that are so good in my life. Amen.
