Where has the year gone. It is the 10th month of the year. The following devotional thoughts I put together for my younger sister who is struggling with the thoughts that she does not feel any joy or peace in her life.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Joy is a deep, supernatural gladness given by the Holy Spirit that does not depend on easy or happy circumstances.
Joy is a conscious, disciplined decision to trust in God's goodness and maintain inner contentment rather than letting external circumstances dictate your emotions.
In the Bible, peace (shalom in Hebrew, eirene in Greek) is much more than the simple absence of conflict; it is complete wholeness, well-being, and harmony rooted in the presence of God
Peace is always a choice because Peace is always present. Jesus is always with us, thus His peace is always present. We simply need to choose to rest in it.
You will
keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you! ~Isaiah 26:3
Our thoughts and attitude we always control. So is choosing peace instead of worry, anxiety, or fear. But this needs to be learned, practiced, and repeated so it becomes a habit. Our natural tendency may be worry or anxiety, but we can learn to choose peace instead. It’s always present because Jesus is always with us. Let’s not lean on our own understanding, but trust God is in control and choose peace.
