Joy for Today

CJ's View from the Cheap Seats

Check on this blog on the daily fight for Joy... another lesson I am learning. I want to DAILY find the joy in trusting God... I have ups and downs in this. If anyone has figured out how to do it continually I would love to know!!

I have often said whether today is a "good" day or a "bad" day has little to do with what happens to me today and mostly to do with how I react or respond to what happens to me today.

When I am reminded of this daily I have many more "good" days than bad days. It is about Trusting God's best for me today and seeking to see it as that. When I first came to a Sovereign Grace church I would hear the phrase "better than I deserve" on a regular basis. This phrase describes us all everyday. My sin deserves severe punishment and the fact that I have received and continue to receive daily Grace from our amazing Savior is so much more than I deserve.

NO ONW HAS IT FIGURED OUT.
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THESE TRUTHS ON A DAILY AND MOMENT BY MOMENT BASIS. YOU ARE A SINNER AND WON'T ALWAYS GET ALL THINGS PERFECTLY RIGHT. THAT IS OK, GOD IS STILL SOVERIGN. CHOOSE JOY, AS YOU OFTEN TELL ME.
I LOVE YOU FRIEND. :)
