TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Because of this, I always try to maintain a clear conscience before God and everyone else." (Acts 24:16 NLT).
TODAY'S WORD , how determined are you to enjoy each and every day? In 1 Thessalonians 5:16 it says "Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always)", notice how long we are supposed to be glad hearted. As long as people treat us right? As long as we feel okay? As long as the economy is up? No, it says, "Be glad hearted continually and always." That means we're to be glad in the good times and in the tough times, when it's sunny and when it's raining. When those dark clouds are over your head and you feel like life is kind of depressing, kind of gloomy, always remember right above those dark clouds the sun is shining. You may not be able to see the sun in your life right now, but that doesn't mean it's not up there. The good news is that those clouds are just temporary. The sun is going to shine in your life once again. In the meantime, keep your joy. Be glad hearted continually! Don't let a few clouds sour your life. On the other side of every difficulty, the sun is shining! Make the decision to be glad always, and you'll move forward in the victory He has in store for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Heavenly Father, today I choose joy. I choose to make the most of every day. No matter what is happening around me, I choose to focus on your goodness so that I can move forward in the blessing you have for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
