Good morning!
There are going to be days where this whole concept of choosing joy is more than a statement. Days where you wake up and everything around you says, no, no joy today. You feel crummy. All your plans are getting sidetracked, frustration over issues that you thought were resolved turn out not to be.
I don’t know what the issues are in your life. I know what they are in mine. Of course, you know the biggie in my life. But I also deal with all the daily frustrations, and right now I’m fighting a cold, which adds to the load. But I, even though I don’t feel like it, I’m choosing joy. Because it’s available to me, because it’s a gift from God that He paid a dear price for.
So, I will fight and I will fight and I will fight to continue to choose joy no matter what. It is mine and I claim it in the name of Jesus. It’s yours, no matter what you’re dealing with today.
Let’s link our shields together and march forward in victory and choose joy this day. Let’s not let circumstances altar the work of the cross in our lives!
God bless you!
