2. Text: Psalm 105:43-45
43 He brought out His people with joy, His
chosen ones with gladness. 44 He gave
them the lands of the Gentiles, And they
inherited the labor of the nations, 45 That
they might observe His statutes. And keep
His laws.
Theme: Joy and Gladness
3. Introduction
SON: “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
DAD: “Yeah sure, what is it?”
SON: “Daddy, how much do you make an
hour?”
DAD: “That’s none of your business. Why
do you ask such a thing?”
SON: “I just want to know. Please tell me,
how much do you make an hour?”
DAD: “If you must know, I make $100 an
hour.”
4. SON: “Oh! (With his head down).
SON: “Daddy, may I please borrow $50?”
The father was furious.
DAD: “If the only reason you asked that is
so you can borrow some money to buy a
silly toy or some other nonsense, then you
march yourself straight to your room and
go to bed. Think about why you are being
so selfish. I work hard every day for such
this childish behavior.” The little boy
5. quietly went to his room and shut the
door. The man sat down and started to get
even angrier about the little boy’s
questions. How dare he ask such questions
only to get some money? After about an
hour or so, the man had calmed down, and
started to think: Maybe there was
something he really needed to buy with
that $ 50 and he really didn’t ask for
money very often. The man went to the
6. door of the little boy’s room and opened
the door.
DAD: “Are you asleep, son?”
SON: “No daddy, I’m awake”.
DAD: “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too
hard on you earlier. It’s been a long day
and I took out my aggravation on you.
Here’s the $50 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
7. SON: “Oh, thank you daddy!”
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled
out some crumpled up bills. The man saw
that the boy already had money, started to
get angry again. The little boy slowly
counted out his money, and then looked up
at his father.
DAD: “Why do you want more money if
you already have some?”
8. SON: “Because I didn’t have enough, but
now I do. “Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I
buy an hour of your time? Please come
home early tomorrow. I would like to have
dinner with you.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms
around his little son, and he begged for his
forgiveness. It’s just a short reminder to all
of you working so hard in life. We should
not let time slip through our fingers
without having spent some time with
9. those who really matter to us, those close
to our hearts. Do remember to share that
$100 worth of your time with someone
you love? If we die tomorrow, the
company that we are working for could
easily replace us in a matter of days. But
the family and friends we leave behind will
feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And
come to think of it, we pour ourselves
more into work than to our family.
10. Some things in life are more important….
Why God brought out His People from
Egypt with Joy and Gladness!
Problems that waits on them!
What are these problems?
1: Physical- Danger, Hunger, Sickness
2: Emotional- murmur, Opposition
3: Spiritual- makes other god’s
11. Illustration
My Missionary friend told me their story
he said,
“One day my wife cindy, refueled our car at
a filling station in a Texas town. Instead of
driving up to the self-service pump, she
accidentally pulled up to full-service. She
didn’t realize the luxury service cost an
12. extra fifty cents per gallon until she paid
for the gas. Later she told me how the
station had hiked the prices on full-service.
That extra fifty cents per gallon surely has
to be a violation of some federal law, I
thought. I quickly calculated that the extra
seven dollars she spent on full-service
would have taken our vehicle 128.33 miles
farther down the road if she had bought
self-service gas. The “full-service gas
station robbery” had me fuming for several
13. hours. As I was mulling over this terrible
injustice, God showed me what I had done.
I had sold my joy for seven dollars! I
never realized how cheaply I would
surrender something so valuable. Just as
Esau exchanged his birthright for a bowl of
soup, I exchanged my joy for seven dollars’
worth of gas.
14. Lessons!
Do not exchange what are more important
in life when Physical, Emotional and
Spiritual problems will come!
Who will experience this Joy and
gladness?
15. 43 He brought out His people with joy, His
chosen ones with gladness.
How certain we are, that God wants us
to be happy?
44 He gave them the lands of the Gentiles,
and they inherited the labor of the nations,
16. What are the purpose why God sustain
our Joy?
• 45 That they might observe His statutes.
And keep His laws.
Conclusion
A passerby noticed a couple of city
workers working along the city sidewalks.
17. The man was quite impressed with their
hard work, but he couldn't understand
what they were doing. Finally, he
approached the workers and asked, "I
appreciate how hard you're both working,
but what on earth are you doing? It seems
that one of you digs a hole, and then the
other guy immediately fills it back up
again. One of the city workers explained,
"The third guy who plants the trees is off
sick today."
18. Application
God’s blessings
Never fail, it always comes on a right
time, right place, and right occasions.
“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose
joy and keep choosing it every day.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen
