Have you ever done a job or project with the right people and materials? The project came together on time and smoothly? You were overjoyed! Right?
Then you would connect with King David in 1 Chronicles 12. Here we find people volunteering to come along side of David for what ever he needs. In fact the Spirit came upon Amasai he said, "We are yours, O David. Success, success to you, and success to those who help you, for your God will help you." More and more men came forward. It was such an outpouring of God's anointing on David.
God is so gracious friends! He provided for David and it benefited them all. Why am I writing this? The Israelites all recognized this provision and celebrate. 1 Chronicles 12:40 "There were plentiful supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy in Israel!" Get this, in the original Greek the word joy used here means-state of joyful exuberance, hilarity! Oh How I could see them laughing and celebrating in their time of connection with God.
Prayer: Lord help me to have taste and see the blessed out pouring of the Holy Spirit. May we experience this exuberant joy! Help me experience what the Israelites experienced. I am so grateful. Amen.
Find God's exuberant hilarity and Joy! Keep praying!
