John 15:11
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
Psalm 30:5
For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
If you had the choice between joy and happiness, which would you choose?
Happiness comes with happy times, happy feelings and happy event.
Joy is everlasting. Joy endures the good, bad and the ugly.
Joy is spiritual. Joy is within.
God’s word instructs us that our joy is what God gives us within that will enable us to get through tough times.
Know that the favor of God is already in that challenge for you. It’s normal to have sad emotions and feelings when we encounter life’s stings.
But, the joy of God within gives us a peace that gets us through life joyfully.
Remember, if we had the power in our hands, we would never have issues in the first place.
Therefore, we get caught up in things over which we have no control.
So, isn’t it pure joy to rest assured that God is there in the gap for you.
He’s already handling the matter and it will all work out.
That is joy.
