At that hour Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy. "I praise Thee," He exclaimed, "O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of understanding, and hast revealed them to babes."
Luke 10:21 - Weymouth's Translation.
Serving the Lord is fun. It's exciting. It's progressive. It's fulfilling. It's going somewhere. It's getting somewhere. There's always something to be thankful for. There's always something to rejoice about. (Luke 10:20)
Even if it should happen that devils take no notice of you, you can still rejoice that your name is written and is on permanent record in Heaven. Even if it should happen that your followers in Christ are failing in their job, you can still rejoice that they're getting a revelation of God that the theologians are missing out on! Even when there seems nothing to be done, in joy you can still start praising God and watch your enemies perish in God's presence! (Ps.22:3; Ps.9:3)
