Did you know there is a difference between happiness and joy? Happiness results from circumstances, while joy is a fruit of the spirit that we have access to if and when we make the choice! Joy is not circumstantial. In Philippians 4:11-13, Paul says, "I have learned how to be content with whatever I have." We are to praise God and experience joy even in the moments we don't perceive as ideal. We have to position our hearts from a place of praise and learn to rejoice even before we see a breakthrough. Our God cannot fail! Joy, peace, and strength are all our portion. What He has done before, He will do again and again.
