"He who keeps his mind stayed on Me, shall abide in perfect peace." Isaiah 26:3
Rejoicing when things are going well, is easy. It’s in the midst of a trial, when it becomes challenging.
Regardless of our circumstances, or however dark they might be, we are not abandoned, and we are not destroyed. There’s an incomparable power and resiliency within each one of us that can’t be shaken, when we’re grounded in Christ. Certainly we’ll have days that bring us down to our knees in tears, but the same power that raised Christ from the dead, gives us the strength and the hope to get back on our feet.
How do you maintain your joy?
Keep your mind stayed on Him. Meditate on God and the scriptures, particularly about joy, peace and contentment. Take time to pray. Appreciate the things you already have, and be thankful. It's hard to be glad and sad at the same time.
