There are days when everything around makes me smile, when the sun is shining, the birds are singing and I'm standing on the mountaintop. On those days let me choose joy. Let me praise God for the blessings that have been poured upon me and may the overflowing of my heart be used to encourage those around me.
Some days the road ahead is blurry and the heavy fog won't lift. Confusion clouds my mind and I fear for what the future holds. In those times may I choose joy. May I trust in the One who holds tomorrow in His hands and know that as I trust He will direct my path.
In the times when I am walking through the valley of the shadow of death and each breath feels like too much to handle. When loneliness creeps in and I find myself asking why, on those dark days may I choose joy. Let the love of my Saviour permeate my soul and the truth of His Word fill my heart. May I remember the cross and be overcome with hope.
Let joy not be determined by the circumstances of my life, but let it rest in the redeeming grace of Jesus Christ.
Today I will choose joy.
