9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:9-11
I felt joy this week. Did you feel joy this week? Joy is hard to find in our world, because there is so much negativity and the enemy doesn't want you to feel joy. So, do you really want to know how I felt joy this week? I will tell you. First, my friend who has cancer laughed at one of my stupid childish jokes. Second, that same friend blessed me with a special gift that I would never be able to afford myself. Third, my children and wife traveled safely to see my mother-in-law. Fourth, I had a friend tell me how much my posts on Facebook meant to her. Fifth, my mother-in-law recognized me and smiled at me over face-time. To many of you, that fifth one might not sound like a big deal, but it was a big deal to me and there is a lot of Joy in my heart because I know that God has laid out a path for my life and my loved ones. He is in control. Find joy in the little things and the big things, it defeats the enemy's efforts because he does not want us to feel joy. Feel joy this week and find it, it is right around every corner.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
