Happy, happy, joy, joy

God grants his children the gift of joy. Day in, day out, it can be difficult to be aware of that eternal joy or maintain it. You know what I mean if . . .

* Your boss ever has gotten on your last nerve.
* Your loved one or family member has attempted to argue with you.
* You ever were stuck in traffic.
* You were in an accident or you were almost in an accident.
* I can go on forever, but you get the picture.

Don't let the enemy or anyone steal that joy from you! I know this can be difficult, but you can prevent it from happening or you can be released from those things that steal your joy.

* Pray for that person/situation
* Bless that person who attempted to hurt you
* Forgive that person
* Hope for that person to receive the gift of salvation
* Keep your faith in Him who is above and know that He is God

Today's verse: Psalm 28:7 (New International Version)

The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song.
