Choose Joy.
Joel Osteen
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
It’s important to start the day off in faith. This is when the enemy works overtime to rule your day. Instead of letting him set the tone, why don’t you set the tone? Before you get out of bed, decide it’s going to be a good day that you live in faith. The Scripture says that God sends joy every morning just for you. It’s waiting for you. But the enemy sends you feelings in the morning as well. Guilt. “You got angry yesterday.” Bitterness. “He did you wrong.” Discouragement. “Nothing good is in your future.” Self-pity. “Why does it never work out?” Now you get to choose.
Here’s the key: Just going by what you feel, letting the negatives dictate your day, is easier. That doesn’t take any effort. But if you’re going to live a victorious life, if you’re going to reach your full potential, you have to go deeper. Don’t be ruled by your emotions. Don’t let feelings dictate your day. You can choose to have a good mood despite the feelings. Choose joy despite the discouragement, choose faith despite the doubt.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that no matter what I feel like in the morning, I don’t have to live guilty, discouraged, or defeated. Thank You that I can choose to live in faith, to be happy, and to enjoy this day. I believe and receive the fresh supply of joy that You have for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
