Most people have the idea of joy completely wrong. Most people think it’s being happy all the time; not letting anything bother you, or even being perfect. Fact of the matter is, that’s the farthest thing from the truth.
Joy is defined as, a feeling of great pleasure and happiness; delight; triumph; rejoicing; elation; or gladness.
As I was surfing the Internet I came across this definition of Joy, and I thought is was perfect.
“Joy is a settled assurance that God is in control of every detail of my life. It’s quiet assurance and confidence that everything will be alright. It’s a determined choice to praise God through everything I face.” (Rick Warren)
I added my lil twist to it, but I think that’s a perfect definition of joy. It doesn’t mean that we won’t have trials or face obstacles, but that we serve an all knowing God as we go through the unknown. It’s confidence in knowing that it’ll all work for the good even when it doesn’t feel good. It trusting that God will not fail, even though you may feel likeyou’re losing.
Take heed to the Word, and don’t let the enemy fool you into believing that you don’t have help. There is a legion of angels working on your behalf seeing you through danger and unseen danger. Find your joy in the midst of your chaos, it’ll get you through.
Love you!
