After God delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian slavery, He gave them specific instructions on how they were to worship.

The Ark of the Covenant was to be put into the innermost part of the tabernacle called the Holy of Holies. It would act as the seat for God when He would come down and visit the people. Because of God’s holiness, no one was allowed to touch the Ark of the Covenant as they wandered in the wilderness. The Israelites would move it by running long poles down each side and holding onto only those poles. Along the way, God had them put three items of significance inside the Ark. The Ark and its contents pointed to the coming Messiah, Jesus.

True joy can only be possessed by an authentic follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Why is that? It’s because true joy stems from the relationship a believer has with Jesus.

Let that same relationship experience hardship without Christ as the center, and they will quickly change their minds on the “joy” they once had. The reason for that change is because the original emotion was based on the circumstances of that relationship.
