In this our month of “JOY for MOURNING” we must make a self-determined effort to remember all we have been taught on the benefits of allowing joy to prevail over all hardship, catastrophe, sad situations and circumstances that might come our way.
We must constantly remember that we have been taught to ensure that a big smile backed by great encouraging scriptures from the word of God must occupy our thoughts/mind/and face - Psalm 30:11, Isaiah 61:2 our mourning will be turned to Joy.
The Bible teaches us that a merry heart doeth good like a medicine - Proverbs 17:22, so we must keep up with the smile and laughter.
There are several instances where the Bible teaches us events that appeared pretty awful, hard, unmanageable, disastrous and hopeless but God turned all the hopeless situations to hopeful outcomes
- Psalm 126:1-6. In spite of the overwhelming mention/teaching of the word, a lot of Christians are depressed, suffer prolonged sadness, and remain in fear of the unknown.
Like King David and Hannah we must learn and practice to encourage ourselves in the Lord -1 Peter 5:7, 1 Samuel 30:6 and Psalm 13:5-6. Today we will encourage ourselves with some crucial situations that birthed Joy.
E.g - Hannah becomes a mother; Abraham becomes a father of many nations; Haman falls into his own pit; Joseph becomes prime minister; Paul and Silas enjoy unusual freedom from prison; God parts the red sea for the Israelites; David kills Goliath, etc.
All our mourning in the night will birth our morning of joy, in Jesus precious name. AMEN.
You will have good success this 2019.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
