Consider it ALL joy! (James 1:2)
Now isn't that a difficult choice. But a choice it is.
We decide/choose whether to see all events---the good, the bad and the ugly, as part of God's working to bring us unto Himself. Receive with thankfulness "each day the good Lord has given" as Daddy always said. Obstacles and heartaches and heart wrenching tragedies make this seem more difficult.
But God....is the anchor that holds. (Hebrews 6:19)
"The anchor holds. Though the ship is battered, the anchor holds. Though the sails are torn, I have fallen on my knees, As I faced the raging seas. The anchor holds, In spite of the storm." (Ray Bolz)
Often when we can't hold on, He's there doing the holding. (Psalm 139:10; Psalm 63:8)
I know because He brought me up "out of the pit." (Psalm 40:2)
READY! MINDSET! GO!
My mind was set on Him and once again, I was ready to "go."
Ready to choose JOY once more!
My mind was set on Him and once again, I was ready to "go."
Ready to choose JOY once more!
