"Blessings are upon the head of the (uncompromisingly) righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence." Prov. 10:6,11 Ampl.
There
is one thing about JOY you can not do...and that is conceal
it.
Its
easy for some one void of LIFE to talk (hiding hate in the heart), but the test of trials will always
reveal, the temperature of our hearts.
The
joyful heart is good medicine because it has found that place of
a settled heart. It takes its seat, and enjoys the ride.
Yes, even
when the ride might get rough, it knows the One in control of the
vessel.
This
type of JOY, isn't necessarily the show of a laugh, but shouts
assurance in the way one LIVES.
It does not conceal, but contains an understanding of ALL that has been given...His Riches!

A
simple faith, and a letting go of control, allows for this Blessing on the head, that the Proverbs mentions.
"For thou O Lord art a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head." (Ps. 3:3)
This
is why the way of the transgressor is hard,
and why true JOY is such
a treasure to behold.
"The joy of the Lord will arm us against the assaults of our spiritual enemies and put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks." ~Matthew Henry
