ADD JOY TO YOUR LIFE
MAIN TEXT:Romans 12:12
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Psalm 32:11—Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
Often times we can be stuck in the “When I…” thoughts. When I gain that admission or get that job, When I make more money, When I have more. And we keep the wheels of worry turning against us. Release what does not serve you joy and rather depletes you of your limited resources and energy. Find what keeps you joyful and come out from the web of regrets.
There are moments we claim to have moved on, but in sincerity, we simply took loads of burden for another journey of sorrow. What were the decisions and actions you took because of sadness? Drop those habits, and the Holy Spirit is willing to help us if we let Him. Lack of joy will not allow us to fulfill our destiny as God planned it. Learn to appreciate God for the good things in your life and with gratitude embrace them.
Aspire for more but don’t forget to always show gratitude for the “little” and be contented. How is your relationship with the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit supernaturally gives us great and lasting joy, even when we face affliction. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Intentionally planning with God helps you to live joyfully. Even when you feel heaviness or sad, go back to God.
DECIDE TO BE JOYFUL AND WALK TOWARDS IT
PRAYER: My Lord God, give me joy that is above afflictions. I need joyful testimonies to replace the sorrowful and sad seasons of my life. Holy Spirit, equip me with a special joy in Jesus’ name, Amen.
