The Force of Joy

Joy is a force that resides in your spirit. You may walk around all day long with a frown on your face, but that does not mean that joy is not in your spirit. It just means that you’ve suppressed it. You haven’t tapped into it.

Appropriating the joy of the Lord is a matter of choice, an act of the will. You can get up in the morning and will to be happy, or you can will to be unhappy. The choice is yours.

In order to walk in the joy of the Lord, you will have to reach down into your spirit and tap into the source of strength that you need.

The devil cannot rob you of your joy unless you let him. He will try to deceive you so that you choose not to tap into the joy inside of you. Without the joy of the Lord you will become weak and easy to overcome.

Nehemiah 8:10 says, “For the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Regardless of your frustrations and challenges, tap into the joy of the Lord today and choose to rejoice by faith. You will experience renewed strength.

Confession: I will not be deceived into letting go of my joy. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I choose to tap into that force of joy today. Regardless of how I feel, I choose to rejoice in the Lord.
