Day 229 Bible Reading: Nehemiah 13, 1 Corinthians 10:23-33, Psalm 35:1-16 and Proverbs 21:17-18 
From where does our joy or delight come? When we have salvation, we have the Kingdom of God in our life! We have the presence of God in our life. Now we have the power to do good works which God prepared in advance for us. When we became saved, God gave us access to them all the power of Heaven, so that we have his authority and power to heal the sick and cast out demons. Salvation is not just a ticket to the Heaven, but the Kingdom of God is at-hand now, and the Kingdom of God is in us.
"Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord, exulting in his salvation." - Psalm 35:9 (English Standard Version)
"Father Lord, Thank you for giving us a new identity. We are not a slave; We are sons, and daughters of God. We are not a sinner; We are a Saint. We are not just Your servant; We are also Your friend. We are not under the law; We are under Your grace. It is not us who lives but Christ, who lives in us. (Gal 2:10). Rejoice in the Lord always because we have a father in Heaven. In Jesus name, Amen."
