Joy Quote by Bryan Wolfmueller
““The devil puts before us every sort of thing we could want or desire. Our longing is pulled away from the things that are good and pushed toward things that destroy life and peace. We delight so easily in the things of the world. Our attention is swept away with the troubles and excitements of this life. These things are all passing away. Only the Lord's Word endures forever (Isaiah 40:8, 1 Peter 1:25). His Word is our delight, and when we delight in His Word, we have life and peace.””
