“…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Neh 8:10
If
you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you’re fooling
yourself. That’s like expecting a lion
not to eat you because you didn’t eat him.
Your joy and peace in life will never accurately be determined by what’s
happening around you, but rather what’s happening inside of you. Unfortunately too many depend on happenings
in life for their joy, but the truth is joy originates from within the soul and
manifest itself on life around them. Don’t
let your focus be on how good or bad you feel life is; wake up each day
thankful for the blessing of life itself, knowing someone else is desperately fighting
for theirs. Life becomes joyful for
those who find their joy in the strength of the God, no matter what’s happening
around them. Billy Sunday said: If you have no joy, there’s a leak in your
Christianity somewhere.” It’s not found
in the absence of suffering, but in the presence of God. Don’t sit and what for joy to arrive; you
must choose joy and keep choosing it everyday, that’s where your strength is.
One
who has a heart full of thankfulness will have a soul full of joy!
