Welcome to God’s Word to You
God’s Word to You today is found in Isaiah 55:12
12 “For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Today I was blessed to celebrate day 6 of my birthday. Due to the world the kids and Dawn and I stretched out lunch, a zoo date with the whole family and then the last of the presents tonite with all of us together. I feel like I am such a blessed man.
And the minor things today? Well work had a few stress moments, of course it is work, right? And there is road construction near our house so 5 o’clock traffic was horrible and so where many of the drivers.
I have a neighbor who passed away early Saturday morning, pipes have been stopped up, and I could go on and on. But I won’t. You know why?
Because I have the joy of the Lord in my heart. I have my health, I have a job that pays the bills. I have an amazing wife who is working so hard in school so she can be a nurse. I have an awesome son, daughter-in-law and the world’s cutest, smartest and most precious grandson ever born, well to me, and most of all, a God who not only loves me in spite of my sins and failures and whoa…. who saved me!!!
Satan will try over and over in ways you couldn’t imagine to take that joy away from me. I see other Christians day after day who lose that battle but me? Oh no. I will not be one of them.
I will praise my God in the midst of joy and in the midst of pain. Feast or famine. Clear or rainy, because my God loved, and loves me enough to die on a cross for me so I can one day be with Him.
How about you? Will you join me in joy or huddle in misery because things are tough and may not go your way?
As for me and my house. We choose God. We choose joy. We choose celebrating His victory that we are a part of.
me n’ God love ya
