 Despite what man may teach, true joy comes from God and not by following our own wills, or, as we often hear, following our hearts. Unless our hearts’ affections are guarded by the breastplate of faith (1 Thess. 5:8) and restrained by the breastplate of righteousness (Eph. 6:14), our hearts will lead us astray. The path of obedience to the Word of God is the path of true happiness. (Joy From the Lord - Ezra 6:22 by N. Simon)
 1 Cor. 5:7, 8. That is, the moment we are redeemed God claims us, and He desires us to respond to His claims by holy lives-separation from evil, and separation unto Himself. The feast lasted seven days; that is, a perfect period-typically, the period of our lives. (The Book of Ezra: Restoration From Babylon: Ezra 6:16-22 by E. Dennett)
