A Happy Ending Scripture Focus:
Psalm 113 \u201cDelight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him. . . . Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him\u201d (Psalm 37: 4-5,7). ------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple taught in a school for children of missionaries, but being surrounded by children all day did not satisfy their longings. The wife especially wanted the blessing of children of their own. Prayerfully they discussed with friends the wisdom of starting a family later in life. They acted on the advice they received and began exploring adoption. Not one but two would enter their home. Days in court were hard, expensive, and time consuming, but now, after several years of parenting, the children have become legally theirs. In a beautiful way God \u201csettles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children\u201d (Psalm 113:9). Two believers who are committed to God in their life service for Him also turned over their inner desires to Him. They waited and followed His leading - now their desires are fulfilled and their home is filled with exceeding joy. We never need to conceal our heart desires from God. He knows them and will work out His will for us as we delight in Him. INSIGHT: Joy comes when we get what we really want and have waited for God to provide it His way in His time.
The Real Joy Giver Scripture Focus:
Psalm 42 \u201cThen will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God\u201d (Psalm 43:4). \u201cWith joy you will draw water from wells of salvation\u201d (Isaiah 12:3).

Are you a child of God through faith in His Son? Then He has promised to be your ever-present help. He cannot fail, because He is God.
Psalm 113 \u201cDelight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him. . . . Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him\u201d (Psalm 37: 4-5,7). ------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple taught in a school for children of missionaries, but being surrounded by children all day did not satisfy their longings. The wife especially wanted the blessing of children of their own. Prayerfully they discussed with friends the wisdom of starting a family later in life. They acted on the advice they received and began exploring adoption. Not one but two would enter their home. Days in court were hard, expensive, and time consuming, but now, after several years of parenting, the children have become legally theirs. In a beautiful way God \u201csettles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children\u201d (Psalm 113:9). Two believers who are committed to God in their life service for Him also turned over their inner desires to Him. They waited and followed His leading - now their desires are fulfilled and their home is filled with exceeding joy. We never need to conceal our heart desires from God. He knows them and will work out His will for us as we delight in Him. INSIGHT: Joy comes when we get what we really want and have waited for God to provide it His way in His time.
The Real Joy Giver Scripture Focus:
Psalm 42 \u201cThen will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God\u201d (Psalm 43:4). \u201cWith joy you will draw water from wells of salvation\u201d (Isaiah 12:3).
