“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” (Ephesians 6:10, NIV)
SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Everyone has times when they feel weak or discouraged, but you weren’t meant to live that way day in and day out. You don’t have to walk around feeling defeated or depressed. You can have joy and peace no matter what is going on. God has a good plan for you and strength for the journey!
God wants to give you his supernatural joy because His joy is strength! His joy isn’t based on circumstances. It isn’t based on the news, the stock market or the housing economy. God’s joy is based on Him and who He is.
Take a moment and think about all God has done for you—He’s given you life; He’s cast your sins as far as the east is from the west; He has a good plan for you—those are reasons to get happy! Ask Him to fill you with His joy today as you meditate on His goodness. Put a smile on your face and rejoice in the Lord no matter what is going on around you. The joy of the Lord will give you strength so you can embrace the victory He has prepared for you!
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Your joy which is strength. Thank You for empowering me today no matter what I may be facing. Fill my heart with Your joy and peace so I can stand strong in all things in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
