Thank you Lord!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. (Psalm 100:4)

Dear Father God,

I want to thank you for this new day.  This new opportunity to serve you and know you.  Thank you for refreshing my mercy bank every morning I wake up.  I’m so blessed to be serving the Living God, who sent His Son to die for me.

Lord, thank you for my strong, god-fearing, and hard-working husband.  His love truly amazes me.  I’m blessed to be his wife and take this journey through life with him.

3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp O God, my God. (Psalm 43:4)

Today

I choose to focus on God’s mercy

I choose to focus on the pain of the cross instead of my personal pain

I choose joy not because circumstances are good but because God is good

Joy

Joy is like a well containing sweet water.  It is not enough to know the water is there or even to drill the well.  If the well is to be useful, the water must be brought to the surface.  Those who know Christ have found the source of joy. (Ron Hembree)

You can find this quote and much more on Joy in my new book Joyful Living.

 

 

Joyful Living

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

Today is the release date for my brand new book Joyful Living.  I’m so excited to share this book with you.  Every devotional in this book comes straight from my heart.  Over and over again God has brought me back to these pages to remind me that joy is a choice.  Satan can’t steal my joy unless I let him.  This is my new favorite saying!  Every time something comes up to destroy my joy, I repeat this to myself.  I believe it with my whole heart.  If I give in to satan for a second… He’ll not only steal my joy but he will steal my hope, peace, and trust in God.  Joy is just the beginning.
