The Joy Of The Lord Is Your Strength! (Nehemiah 8:10)
Yes, Your Joy Will Overflow ! (John 15:11 NLT) You Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Gives You Strength ! (Philippians 4:13) If happiness depended on everything in life being just right, we would never be happy. Everyone experiences times in life when more things are down than up for one reason or another, but we should never allow our circumstances control our emotions. When things don't go according to plan, it is normal to feel disappointed, but we must be careful how we deal with that emotion, because if we remain in a state of disappointment for too long, it can turn into discouragement, hopelessness and finally depression. Satan knows if he can fill our minds with negative thoughts and emotions that it will cause discouragement. Satan is a discourager and he wants us down financially, emotionally, spiritually and in every way he can, but Jesus is our encourager and He came to lift us up! Psalm 30:5 says, “ Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning!
