There are so many things out there that want to steal our joy. Do not let that happen. Keep your eyes on Jesus and you will never lose your joy. If you are focused on him and the heavenly prize that awaits, no matter what happens, your eternal joy and blessings far outweigh what is going on here.
Even though we go through trials and tribulation, there is joy in the midst of it, here and now. The enemy would leave you alone if you weren’t a threat. Keep pressing on and follow God. You are surrounded by God’s blessings and you should stay focused on that. True joy comes, not just when things are going great, but when you realize that the source of that joy is the love and faithfulness of the Almighty God, who will never leave you nor forsake you.
Stand firm, pray without ceasing, and seek God first for the answer to all your cares and problems. Keep focused on him!
Psalms 28:7 (NLT) - “The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.”
