Gladness

“I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the Lord” (Psalm 122:1).

King David was glad for any opportunity afforded to him to be in the Lord’s presence. So it should be with us. There should be joy in our hearts when we go to meet the Lord, to remember Him in the breaking of bread, and to worship Him. If we are occupied with His love for us, His death at Calvary, His resurrection, and His coming again, we will certainly overflow in worship to think that He did it all for us. Let’s really think about Jesus today as we meet with other believers around Him once again.

Here are a couple of other things that made the heart of David rejoice with genuine gladness.

“I will be glad and rejoice in Thee”
(Psalm 9:2).

“I will be glad and rejoice in Thy mercy” (Psalm 31:7).

Does the person and work of Christ gladden your heart? It certainly gladdens the heart of God who could say: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (2 Peter 1:17).
