September 5: Make a Joyful Noise.
Singing With the Angels.
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips.--Psalm 6:3, 5, NRSV
THOSE WHO ABIDE IN JESUS will be happy, cheerful, and joyful in God. A subdued gentleness will mark the voice, reverence for spiritual and eternal things will be expressed in the actions, and music, joyful music, will echo from the lips; for it is wafted from the throne of God. This is the mystery of godliness, not easily explained, but nonetheless felt and enjoyed. A stubborn and rebellious heart can close its doors to all the sweet influences of the grace of God and all the joy in the Holy Ghost; but the ways of wisdom are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4, 625.
Those who walk in wisdom's ways are, even in tribulation, exceeding joyful; for He whom their soul loveth, walks, invisible, beside them. At each upward step they discern more distinctly the touch of His hand; at every step brighter gleamings of glory from the Unseen fall upon their path; and their songs of praise, reaching ever a higher note, ascend to join the songs of angels before the throne.--Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 140.
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
--Psalm 16:11, NKJV
