'The Time For Gladness.'
Revelation 19:7-8.
a) "Let us be glad and rejoice,
b) And let us give honour to Him.
c) For the time has come for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb,
d) And His bride has prepared herself.
e) She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear."
f) For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God's Holy People.
(This QT shows me The Time For Gladness)
PRAY: For Gladness to be in our Faith Life.

'Sometimes An Introduction Is Needed.'
Acts 9:26-28.
a) Acts 9:26. After Saul arrived in Jerusalem,
b) Acts 9:26. He tried to join the Disciples.
c) Acts 9:26. But everyone was afraid of him.
d) Acts 9:26. They wouldn't believe that he was a Disciple.
e) Acts 9:27. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the Apostles.
f) Acts 9:27. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road,
g) Acts 9:27. And that he had spoken to him,
h) Acts 9:27. And how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the Name of Jesus.
i) Acts 9:28. Then Saul went throughout Jerusalem with the Disciples.
j) Acts 9:28. He spoke boldly with the Power and Authority of the Lord.
(This Second one reminds me that Sometimes An Introduction Is Needed)
PRAY: For Churches to be free from false 'ministers' who manipulate themselves into the pulpit.

Chris.
When Gladness is in our Faith life, it makes Faith seem like an attractive thing to other people. If we read the Book of Acts, we can find that the early Church leaders were so often filled with Joy, even in the most difficult of circumstances. the Bible teaches us that the Joy of the Lord is our strength, let us Pray for more of this Joy. This Joy is something deep in our hearts and has nothing to do with strange laughter.
