faith unfaded

Everyone WANTS joy. Most people don’t want to be inherently miserable. But joy is often a choice, not a condition.

While happiness is circumstantial, joy comes from a deeper place. A place where your praise continues during tribulation and your trust remains in Christ.

This week’s focus is on choosing joy, no matter what life throws your way. Count it all joy…even the things that threaten to derail you. God makes all things work together for His purpose.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds…James 1:2

joy. (For King & Country, 2018)

But now that I am older, I live at the speed of light
Feels like the cycle never stops
Feels like it’s never gonna

Gotta get that fire, fire, back in my bones
Before my hard heart turns into stone
So won’t somebody please pass the megaphone?
I’ll shout it on the count of three
(One, two, three)

Yeah, I choose joy
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
