Trees Clap Their Hands

[S] Isaiah 55:12 --
12 "For you will go out with joy
And be led forth with peace;
The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,
And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

[O] Joy is one of the mysterious formula God integrated into our lives because as much as I have two eyes and a nose the joy is a real part of our lives not an optional ornament that we put on whenever we want to.  God put this in our lives for Him to enjoy watching us filled with joy.  He even made plan B in case we don't exercise this gift by letting the mountains and the hills shout joy, and the trees clap their hands.  In fact, if you look around at the nature, I can see how the trees raise their hands upward toward the sky and clap their hands (branches and leaves).

[A] If the trees can express joyfulness to God, I should certainly be joyful at will, not conditional to my circumstances.  I need to mix expressing my joy to God in my daily routine.  Just like how the mountains, hills, and the trees do this through their built-in nature, I would like to make this a part of my nature.

[P] Dear Father, take joy, right now through my life.  I give You the glory and commit my life to make You joyful by watching my life every day.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
