Choose Joy - By Esther Campbell

Sometimes our circumstances can dictate how we feel and do things. But that can changed by choosing to be joyful in all circumstances. Some of us live with a situation or with a health problem or lost a loved one. We don’t need to give in to the temporary situations. Instead we choose to shout with Joyful songs to the Lord and Worship Him with gladness.

We know that our Lord is good and we belong to Him. We trust Him that He will take care of situations and turn things around. Believing in Him, we come to Him with grateful praise and give thanks. Grateful heart produces joyful heart and gives us a serving heart.

When you are going through something, don’t give in, instead start serving the Lord and others around you. By this, we show others that we live for Him and are grateful for all His blessings and share the joy that comes from Him.

In this season, lets enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Be joyful and spread Jesus’ joy around you for He is good and His love endures forever and His faithfulness through all generations. 

Psalms 100
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.
