10 Scriptures on Joy
The word JOY is in the Bible 242 times. That tells me that Joy is important to the Lord. If it’s important to Him, then it should be invaluable to us. I searched Joy on Bible Gateway and 242 verses came up. I read through them, and chose 10 that stuck out to me.
In 2017, I want Joy to be what I seek every day in every situation. In order to do that, I need the Word to remind me. I’m thinking I will write these on note cards or in a note book to begin memorizing them. That will help. When we memorize and meditate on the Word, God speaks. When God speaks, we change. I want to change.
Listed below are those 10 Scriptures on Joy. I hope you will memorize these with me. Seek Joy and hear the Lord speak.

but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
