How To Have Joy Today & Every Day!
(Daily Inspirational Memory Verse)
"This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it."
Arise and shine my friend; for this is the day that the Lord has made; rejoice, and be glad in it. I'm so excited to be writing this post about rejoicing in the Lord! Sometimes we face things that cause us to be sad and downtrodden, but I'm here to tell you that you don't have to be. Psalms 3:3 says, " But you, Lord, are the shield around me, my glory, the one who lifts my head high." This scripture conveys that even when we ourselves can't lift our own heads, the Lord will lift it up.
Psalm 118:24
The word works my friend, and if you, ever, find yourself in a situation where your spirits are down, proclaim God's word over your life. Remind Him that His word says: "He is the lifter of your head." Begin to rejoice, because you're experiencing another day that the Lord has made. Decide that you are going to be glad about it.
YOU CAN EXCHANGE YOUR PAIN & SUFFERING FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD.
YOU CAN EXCHANGE YOUR PAIN & SUFFERING FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD.
Isaiah 61:13 "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."
God will give you beauty for ashes and the oil of joy, in exchange, for your mourning; isn't He a good God! Wrap yourself in praise; sing, and worship; glorify Him and break into the anointing! It literally means, for the spirit of heaviness, put on the garment of praise. Trade the heaviness that you're experiencing for praise and worship, and watch it lift right off of you! It's that simple. Don't walk around sad, depressed, angry, or complaining...as soon as you feel a glimpse of heaviness, start praising God. As soon as the devil tries to remind you of your situation, start shouting for joy in Jesus's name! Don't wallow in your hurts and disappointments; turn them over to Jesus.
Jesus said,
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." ... Jesus says his yoke is "easy". (Mathew 11: 28-30).
To Avoid Doing This Would Insinuate that Jesus is Lying Here...That's How Horrible It Is To Carry Your Own Burdens As If He Hasn't Made A Way Of Escape For You...Do Not Take Them Upon Yourself!
You do not have to carry the burdens that you're facing. Jesus had already won the battles you're fighting on the cross. Isn't that good news! You're probably saying, but you don't understand; my husband is cheating on me; I just lost my house; my child is in prison; I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills; my mother is dying; I was abused as a child; my car just broke down; I'm homeless with my family; I've been betrayed by a loved one ext. . . .Listen, I don't know which of those situations you're dealing with today, but I've faced every, single one of them...ALL OF THEM! Some, I'm still facing, but "I look to the hills from which comes my help because all my help comes from the Lord!"
Jesus carried the cross to His own death for you and me. "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5). We are healed from the afflictions we are afflicted with in life. There's no excuse for giving up when Christ has given all to and for us. He overcame, and through Him, you can too. Give that cheating spouse over to God; lay him or her on the altar. Do not carry the burdens of your children; turn them over to God; ask Him for guidance and strategy concerning your role in their situation. Every-time the devil tries to bring painful memories to your mind about your past, start praising God! So you lost everything; remind the devil that "God is your provider, and He will provide all of your needs according to His riches and Glory! Just lost a loved one? Remember, as a believer, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Don't spend all your time grieving, but rather reach out to your living relatives with the word of God so they can be present with the Lord whenever He calls them home.
Keep in mind that through faith & prayer comes instructions; be obedient when God gives you instructions concerning your situation.
Sounds ridiculous? It's your choice. You can choose the word, or you can choose the weight of life without the word; it's that simple. I pray you chose the word of God so that you can have joy every day of your life!
To Your Success . . .
