It's an evil and ungodly world we live in my fellow saints, thus life for us can be sometimes very difficult and confusing, especially when we try to do things on our own. That's why it's ever so important to have God's presence and blessing in all that we do. Now, that doesn't always make the problems easier or less difficult, but it does give us a better attitude, more strength and courage to handle them. That means we're not as baffled, confused or discouraged by all the trials we are continually facing, for with God's joy in our hearts, our bodies and souls are able to handle whatever comes against us. Let's therefore remember that the joy of the Lord is our strength, and nothing that comes against us will harm us. That's the Lord's faithful promise! Much LOVE!
