If the joy of the Lord is your strength, what would you do if you were the enemy? You'd do everything to rob that joy. Fear, anxiety, worry, bitterness, anger, and resentment are all joy killers.
We make the mistake of thinking joy is a feeling, and it can be. However, joy is a state of being. If the Word of God tells us not to worry, then we have the ability to not worry. If the enemy can steal your joy (your strength), you'll be too weak to fight the battles of life.
Change Your Actions (Proverbs 21:15)
This scripture tells us that it is a joy to do justice, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
1. What you do affects how you feel.
2. Don't long for the joy the world has; yours is better!
3. Proverbs 15:21-23 - Folly is joyful to those who are destitute of discernment. Do you have understanding or are you destitute of discernment?
4. Doing just things brings joy. If people don't receive it, that's their problem. Don't let their response steal your joy.
