Be Joyful Always

"For the joy of Lord is your strength"

(Nebemiah 8:10)

In Psalms, David said, "I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth." At all times means in the good times as well as the tough times. The Bible tells us to stay full of joy no matter what we are facing.

The joy of the Lord is our source of strength and the enemy knows it. He knows that if he can get your down and discouraged, before long, you'll be weak and feeble and he'll be able to easily defeat you. You must always stay alert mentally, because if you are not alert mentally, you can not stay alert spiritually. We must guard our hearts at all times!

When you are full of joy and have a good attitude, you keep yourself strong. That positive attitude of faith paves the way for God to work miracles in your life---it paves the way for God to turn your situation around!

Remember, we cannot say we believe and trust Him, then let our mind think things and allow our actions to be opposed to our words. Our words, thoughts and actions must be in alignment with each other.

Decide today to have a good attitude. Keep your thoughts and actions full of His joy by meditating on the goodness and promises of God. Be full of the joy of the Lord! You'll soon experience supernatural strength and discover the victorious life God has planned for you!

Prayer: Dear Father, thank You filling my life with joy. Thank You that I am blessed and cannot be cursed. Thank you that in all things You cause me to triumph. Thank you for Your strength within me that comes from that joy. I bless You today and rejoice in Your goodness.
