Knowing God - He Delivers With Gladness


Ps 105:43
 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:


It is wonderful to realize that when the Lord wants to deliver us, He intends the deliverance to result in joy and gladness.  Oftentimes it is difficult at first to leave a land of slavery in our lives.  We might have a trademark sin that we keep falling into and it almost feels comforting because it is so familiar.  When we stop running to that idol and are starved of its familiar comfort, we may find ourselves frustrated, angry, lost and sad.  This is predictable and it is temporary.  When we are finally freed from the sin’s constant bombardment of promises of pleasure, we will find ourselves glad and joyful.  The Lord will bring his people out of these lands of slavery to a place where enduring joy thrives.  Remember, sorrow may last for a moment but joy comes in the morning.
