Are We Having Fun Yet?

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Romans 14:17)

I'll never forget Erma. I was visiting her in the hospital after she had lost a leg to amputation. Expecting depression and sorrow, I was surprised by her happiness and joy. In the midst of her tribulation, she bubbled over with the joy of the Lord.

Jesus never promised us that the Christian life would be easy. Actually, He pretty much indicated the opposite. But one thing the Bible does promise us as believers is that no matter what we may experience in the Christian life, it will be accompanied by joy that only the Christian can have.

Are you having fun yet? Are you experiencing the joy that comes with serving Jesus? If not, perhaps you need to pray, as David did, "restore unto me the joy of my salvation." (Psalm 51:12)

Or better yet, maybe you need to know the Savior who alone can give you that joy.
