Get Your Joy Back
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.”
(1 Peter 1:8, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
If the circumstances of life have taken away your joy, today is the day to get it back. You weren’t meant to live this life feeling drained, depressed and down. God wants you to be excited about your future and learn to enjoy each and every day.
If you don’t make the conscious effort to keep your joy, year after year you’ll get more and more solemn. Not only will the enemy rob you of the joy that belongs to you, but he’ll rob your family and friends of the gift that you have to give them. When you have joy, you can use that joy to influence the people around you for good. Joy is strength, and when you have joy, you can offer strength to the people God has placed in your life.
Today, draw the line in the sand and say, “That’s it. I’m not going to live another day negative, discouraged, sour and grumpy. I’m going to put a smile on my face. I’m going to live my life happy.” Choose to hold on to joy which is your strength so you can offer strength to people everywhere you go.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for Your love. Thank You for choosing me and molding me into Your image. Today, I invite You to fill me with Your inexpressible, glorious joy so that I can be a blessing to the people You have placed in my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Know your strength! This question has been asked over and over again – Who do the strong go to? Have you ever felt like you have the answers for everyone else, always there for everyone, but when you need assistance you cannot help yourself and there is no one there to help you? Why?  Because God has equipped you with the gift to be a blessing to others, however you must remember the strong go to God (not man/woman). We must go to him in spirit and in truth seeking guidance and wisdom - always remembering to repent 1 st . With an open mind and open heart trusting and believing that the storm is over and you shall be rewarded - it is time to reap what you have sown.  Its OK that you went through publicly …remember a little rain falls on the just and unjust alike, keep the faith and stay strong the battle is over – you won – stop worrying – its harvest time – for everything there is a season – and now this is your season to walk in your anointing – to ...
