The Joy of the Lord
The joy of God is birthed from the fear of God.
![Page 20: People of the book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/55ceb0b3bb61ebcf0a8b4677/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The Joy of the Lord
Joy and euphoria are two different things. One is an experience and the other is an abiding presence.
![Page 22: People of the book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/55ceb0b3bb61ebcf0a8b4677/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Joy of the Lord
Euphoria is temporary. Like a warm bath, it’s intended to end.
![Page 23: People of the book](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/55ceb0b3bb61ebcf0a8b4677/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Joy of the Lord
Joy is a gift, not a pursuit. It’s found in God, and not at the end of a rainbow.

The Joy of the Lord
Joy needs maintenance, and the mechanic’s name is, “Sacrifice”.
