My Joy is not circumstantial.
Why me God?
why now?
Why again?
May the blessings which are writing in your word are not for me. The question of asking God in a desperate situation why me
and why now is something we Christians are familiar with.
Our mind is so clouded with everything that is going on around us, forgetting what the word of God says.
We allow doubts, depression to settle it, instead of allowing the word of God to dwell in us richly.
I have been there many times. I have asked these questions.
But one thing I have learned is remind myself of the word of God.
Not to the led by my emotions rather the word of God.
The word of the lord says in Galatians 5:22 that Joy is an expression of our Spirit.
Since we know that we are Spirit beings, we also know that we can express joy despite the situation. For our joy is not circumstantial.
It is important we remind ourselves of the nature of God
He is perfect, all knowing, and doesn't do anything wrong.
Just as James said in James 1:17: Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. [a] He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
Our joy is not circumstantial. God is the vein and we are the branches. As long as we
remind in him, we will bear much fruits.
Outside of him we are nothing. Are joy is from him and hm alone.
John 15:11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy.
Yes, your joy will overflow!
Jesus already told us that in this world we will have
tribulations and trials. As long as we live, there will always be undesirable situations and trails. Why then worry? Why then allow yourself to be down casted.
John 16:33 says: I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart because I have overcome the world.”
Jesus is telling us that he has overcome the world. We have to hold God`s words in our heart.
