"The Fruit of the Spirit"

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." 
Galatians 5:22-23

 MORNING APRIL 1

The fruit of the Spirit is joy.

Joy in the Holy Ghost. � Unspeakable and full of glory.

Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; ... exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. � We glory in tribulations.

Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; ... for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame. � These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be fuIl. � As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. � The joy of the LORD is your strength.

In thy presence is fulness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. � For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

EVENING APRIL 1

Jehovah shalom: (The Lord send peace.)

Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

Behold, a greater than Solomon is here. � Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. � My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; when it shall hail, coming down on the forest ; and the city shall be low in a low place.

He is our peace. � This man shall be the peace when the Assyrian shall come into our land.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.
