Choose to Rejoice
Today's Scripture
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
(Psalm 118:24)
Joy is a tough word to pinpoint and define. Many people describe joy
as an emotion or a feeling that comes over you in a great and shining
moment. Sometimes joy is just the opposite of being angry, but
hopefully it's much more than that to you. Joy is not the same as
happiness, because joy is what God has put in your heart, while
happiness is a temporary mood that can come and go. The Bible talks
about the kind of overflowing joy that rises up from deep within your
heart because of what God has done for you. He keeps that spring full
and flowing, which is why you can choose to live in joy today,
tomorrow, and every day after. Joy like this is contagious, and the
world is looking for it.
A Prayer for Today
God, I choose joy today! Thank You for placing in my heart a deep well
of joy that I can draw from each day. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
