Psalm 4:7

Thou hast put Gladness in my Heart, more than in the Time that their Wine and Corn increased.

O, Life of Grace and pleasant Joy! The Serpent is overcome when we surrender ourselves to God. Our Awareness is awakened, now we are Free. The old has vanished; the Lord has made Everything new.

Here is the Source of Life, here rises the Spring of Gladness. God’s Grace shines brightly on us. Here in Paradise is the Tree that bears the Fruit of Life which feeds our Soul, and keeps us safe from the Poison of Hell.

In Joy we leap, our Heart beats for Joy and we sing for Joy, God has removed our pain. We have buried Sorrow, Happiness enters our Body and Soul. We become drunk with Joy, for our Hope is to have pleased God.

We are completely swallowed up in this glow of Happiness. Our Tongues cannot adequately tell what God has done. We must be dead to the World and be renewed with the Spirit of God. Then we will inherit the Kingdom and God will be our Everything.

O Beloved! let the Urges and Impulses of this Earth fly away, and seek to draw closer to the Love that is God. We will lose the Happiness of Eternity if we allow ourselves to be seduced for a few Moments of Pleasure.

Those who follow the Pleasures of the World will not be happy but saddened in the End. For the Things of the World are like Smoke in the Wind. It is here but a short Time, then evaporates and it is gone.

Therefore Beloved! listen when God calls you, for it is with the best of Intentions: do the good Deeds of a Christian with a pure Heart, and our souls will be filled with the Spirit of Gladness. After a short Suffering on Earth, we will find Rest, and rejoice in Eternity.

Lord! come with Your precious Spirit and anointing Oil. Light the Flame to do good in our Soul. Touch our Tongues with Fire so we can send our Songs of Praise up to Heaven. Amen.

    This is such a beautiful meditation on Psalm 4:7 and the joy that comes from a life rooted in God. The imagery of being swallowed up in happiness and the soul being filled with gladness is deeply moving. I love how the piece contrasts the fleeting pleasures of the world with the eternal joy found in surrender to God. The line about the tongue being unable to adequately describe what God has done really resonates with me. It’s a wonderful reminder to seek what truly nourishes the soul rather than chasing things that fade like smoke. Thank you for sharing this, it’s a genuinely uplifting read.
