what’s your idea of fun?
have you thought of the Presence of God, as fun?
the bible says in psalm 16 that in His presence is fullness of joy. better than the most desirable & enjoyable thing imaginable, is Jesus.
God is fun.
He wants to have fun with us.
have you ever spent more than a half hour around a young child? If so you’ll know their world is quite different from ours! Their world revolves around laughter & play. Good Dads love to wrestle with their children, chase them & be the tickle monster, make blanket forts, & pretend.
a childs entire existence can be summed up into the word FUN.
so if we’re the children of God, we are waking up to playing with our Dad.
He rescues us because He delights in us (psalm 18:19)!
“Yahweh your God is in your midst, A mighty one who will save. He will be joyful over you with gladness; He will be quiet in His love; He will rejoice over you with joyful singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17
“in the wilderness you saw how Yahweh your God carried you, just as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have walked until you came to this place.’”
Deuteronomy 1:31
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
John 1:12-13
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!”
Philippians 4:4
He loves to play with His kids. when we’re resting, we’re enjoying Jesus. when we’re enjoying Jesus, we’re resting. there is rest available today. it’s in the eyes of love. in the arms that carry you & the laughter—oh it’s in the laughter!
enjoy Jesus today, as Jesus enjoys you
