Having a perspective of joy has very special benefits. One of such benefits is that joy helps the human mind to develop staying power, stamina, strength, and stickability in the face of contrary winds and contradictory circumstances. If there's anything that we must master, it is the ability to stand firm, holding out the truth of God's word, with a joy-laden disposition.

Joy represents the presence of faith. It is easy to stay with what God has promised when you develop an attitude of joy.  Believing God's word becomes tangible when joy leads our faith demonstrations and declarations. Joy helps the believer to develop staying power- spine. It is harder to defeat a person who has refused to give up and who has remained joyful in the process. 

God wants you to hold out His perspective in life and have the boldness to not quit until you see the end of your faith.
