The scripture teaches us Joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). I have had days and circumstance where to count it all joy has been a seemingly impossible task. How about you? We can't always control happiness or sadness because those emotions are often driven by life circumstances such as a death, divorce, an illness, the loss of a job and so on. However we can make a choice to live and walk daily in the joy of our Lord and savior.
