Choose
For you have read in My Word that the Joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10b) and you might ask, what does this mean? And so I shall tell you—it is the opposite of mourning before ME. It is when you remember who I AM and all that I have done for you by sending My Son to die so that your sins can be forgiven and you are invited to become My son or daughter. It is believing, knowing and understanding the love I have for you and that nothing can separate My love for you. It is when you heart and mind are abiding and communing with ME—that is your strength—when you fill you heart and mind with ME, acknowledging who I AM in your life. But when you choose to focus on the problems of this life and not on ME, that is when there is no joy and the burdens of life drowns out the joy. So My Army of Light everyday and throughout your day, you make a choice of being full of the joy of the Lord or to be full of the cares of this world.
Matthew 6:33-34 “So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”
I choose to be full of the joy of the Lord! Thank You for the joy You give freely to me.
ReplyDeleteYes, Lord, I will focus my heart and mind and soul to my Lord Jesus daily. Father, give me strength and words and instructions for sharing my heart of love to others that God loves you. .
