There, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your households shall eat and rejoice in all you do, because the Lord your God has blessed you. Deuteronomy 12:7

But, “If you do not serve the Lord your God with joy and enthusiasm for the abundant benefits you have received, you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. You will be left hungry, thirsty, naked, and lacking in everything. The Lord will put an iron yoke on your neck, oppressing you harshly until he has destroyed you. These curses will be a sign and a wonder upon you and your descendants forever.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us never forget to be joyful in the Lord, and to give thanks, for all the blessings we have received.
