May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
JOY is a choice.
JOY is finding a reason to be at peace and to have a deep rooted, unshakable, unmoveable hope that cannot be easily disrupted. This hope reassures us that we are going to be okay and that all is well because at the end of the day God is good full stop. His nature is good, he is the very essence of goodness and purity. His design and plans are only for our good, thus at the end of the day all is well. So joy is remembering God’s nature, His design and Hisnplan and knowing beyond the temporary circumstance that all is well because He is good. It is trusting that all will be well when presently it may not look like it will be. Joy keeps us hopeful because beyond what we can see we can hold onto a promise and a peace. We are already okay and we have a saviour who is watching our every step how can he let us fall if we trust in HIM?
Decide today that beyond what you can see you will have a hope in joy knowing that you are okay and most importantly God is GOOD. Let joy keep you admist the storm, temptations and other issues of life. Stand firm in joy because it will help you through what feels like forever torment, it reminds you that nothing is permanent and you ALWAYS have something to give praise for. So today give praise because look at where you are, here!
Choose joy you have enough breath in your lungs and hope in your heart to release a praise and a thanks. Be at peace. Be at rest. God is your portion. His nature is good. This is temporary and you are already okay ❤
Dear God,
As we enter into a new season of unfamiliarity sometimes fear and hopelessness try to occupy the spaces of our hearts where joy and peace should be. May we choose joy going forward, intentionally seeking the will of you our Father and king and choosing to hope in your goodness instead. We trust your nature and your peace finds us in the worst seasons may we remember you are a promise keeper and the peace elf our lives we have joy knowing that you God of all creation who cares about even the hairs on our head are with us. In Jesus’ name, amen
