Good morning.
Kay Warren has written the following definition of joy:
"Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be all right, and the determined choice to praise God in all things."
Did you catch that? Joy is a settled conviction about God. It’s a quiet confidence in God. And joy is a determined choice to give my praise to God.
2 years, 9 months ago I, Mike, started the practice of posting #Thankfultoday on Facebook each day. Doing this has changed how I look at life.
When we focus on giving thanks to God, life seems to enable us to experience what Kay Warren says about joy. God is in control of every detail of our lives, therefore we can have confidence that everything is going to be okay. Consequently we can praise God and give thanks in every situation.
When we experience this reality, we will experience the joy of the Lord in our lives.
Will you rise to the challenge of starting each day with #Thankfultoday?
"He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy." (Job 8:21)
Have a splendid day.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
