Joy To The World

This was the first Christmas carol in a YouVersion Bible reading plan that a friend and I are doing together this month. Listening to renditions of this song by several different musical artists, I also "heard" (in my head) the song, I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Then these Scriptures came to mind:

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John 15:11 KJV

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10‭-‬11 KJV

Looking in a hymnal (to see all the lyrics) revealed a reference to Psalm 98. Will read this (probably in multiple translations) while thinking about "The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love."

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Jude 1:24‭-‬25 KJV

... and my journey (in joy!) with Him continues ...
