Jeremiah 15:16
Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and Thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart; for I am called by Thy Name, O LORD GOD of hosts.
When we find the Word of the LORD in His Holy Scripture, we have found great joy that reaches to the heart and strikes a golden chord in our soul.
Why is this so? What causes us to resonate so perfectly with the Word of the LORD? Why does our heart rejoice at the sound of the Word of the LORD?
The last line of this verse tells us the answer to all three of the questions above: For I am called by Thy Name, O LORD GOD of hosts. We are part of the family of GOD, when we accept JESUS as our LORD and Savior. When we hear the Word of our Father or read the Word, in our heart a song is heard, a song of the family of GOD. This song brings such joy that out of our mouth bursts forth praise as we proclaim: Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised.
Let everything that hath breath, praise the LORD! Praise Ye the LORD!
