TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.”

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.

Jesus’ name. Amen.

When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
