I highly suggest you purchase a notebook/journal or create a page in the EVER NOTE APP to work out today's session.
I will be supplying more daily worksheets for you to workout on your own. I feel its important to GIVE you tools to personalize.
Lets get started today friends, God will meet you where you meet Him.
Look up psalm 16:11 (write/type this on top page of today's entry)
When we learn to love other the way Christ loves us, we will begin to understand unconditional love. This unconditional love will bring a supernatural joy into your heart and life. This joy is a smile of the soul that is unaffected by people or circumstances.
1. We cant wait for everything to be right to be joyful that may never happen. Look up 1 Thessalonians 5:16 and Philippians 4:4.
What command is given here?
2. READ John 14:4,5,10 and 11. and Psalm 16:11
3 God promises a heavenly joy, a sweet delight but this joy is not cheap. what will it cost us Romans 12:1?
PALMS UP LIVING: DO THIS EXERCISE TODAY
Raise your palms up and take your particular situation and raise your hands up and say "Yes, Lord, I accept it, I submit it, I will walk in your path and follow your voice and trust you with the consequences"
4. Life is often full of STRESS, CONFLICTS and ANXIETY. Why do these rob us of our joy? Read Psalm 16:11
5. Often we rob ourselves of this joy how do we do this?
Read Psalm 51:1-2
6. What circumstance or person in your life ins stealing you from
the Joy of the Lord?
Read Nehemiah 8:10 how can we experience joy even if this circumstance or the people do not change?
now look up 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
PUT THIS IN YOUR TOOL BOX:
Even tho you have dismal days, try these 3 points to keep the joy of the Lord in life on difficult days
* Get your eyes OFF the Circumstance, Get busy
* Live one day at a time...Do not worry about tomorrow
*Count your blessings and jot them down
Read Isaiah 26:3 and Psalm 1:2 this will help with the activity above
So many times in life we measure the hurdles and fix our eyes on them all day long. we then begin to measure the height of the next jump and in doing so we glance occasionally at the Lord to make sure He is aware of it all. Keep you eyes more on the lord and not the hurdle.
Draw a picture of a hurdle and then draw a picture of a cloud floating above the hurdle. NOW put a stick person on the cloud above that hurdle. Remember your hurdle from a heavenly perspective!
JOY IS THE FLAG THAT IS FLOWN FROM THE CASTLE OF YOUR HEART WHEN THE KING IS IN RESIDENCE.
Is Christ home in your heart? Are you maintaining a close relationship with him? Remember Happiness depends on the happenings and JOY depends on our relationship with Christ.
Its your choice YOU can HAVE JOY if you want it!
End reading James 4:17
Keep growing friends, sometimes a few bad pieces of fruit in our life tries to corrupt the whole field. Well stand up today and claim that field and toss the bad fruit out!
Blessings friends!
