BE JOYFUL THROUGH ALL THINGS!

” YES, JOYFUL ARE THOSE WHO LIVE LIKE THIS. JOYFUL INDEED ARE THOSE WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD! ” PSALM 144:15

When I concentrate on Jesus and what he does for me, my life seems to flow so much better. When I stay focused on every miracle and gift that he has provided to me, no matter the size, my life is much more meaningful to me. I have found that I sometimes I wander from the path the Lord has set me on and begin to look upon my problems instead of looking to the Lord. When I do this, I leave myself open for depression, doubt, worry and fear. We all go through struggles, but we don’t all go through them the same way. Our Lord gives us the opportunity to focus on our real life and stay concentrated on him and his plan for us. As we travel through our life here on earth, we may not know the end result, but we can rest assured that if we are living our lives within the guidelines the Lord has given us, we will have a much easier time. If we focus on ourselves, our problems and those around us, we probably struggle and lead a life that will be filled with sadness, worry and live in a world of “WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?” Our lives are much more than that. We are only temporary residents of this world. We are spiritual beings by nature and our future is eternity with our Lord Jesus. Let us all take time to stay focused on the things that make us great and not on the things of the world that make us feel sorry for ourselves. Let us all be a strong and become a loving testimony to others and not someone who constantly looks to this world for our answers. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
