An Opportunity For Joy

James 1:2 (NKJV) My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials

No one likes to face hardships and problems. The thought of being joyful during a time of crisis or trouble might even sound silly. If you can pause for a moment, take a deep breath, focus on the fact that God promises to see you through to victory, that is something to be glad about. The devil wants to see you fall, get upset, get angry and lose your joy because he knows that the joy of the Lord is your strength. If he can get you to lose your joy, then your strength to overcome just went out the window. But if you can smile and remember that God is for you not against you, that He always causes you to triumph, then you've just whipped the devil at his own game.

Have A Blessed Day
