JOY-FULL

How can we be Joy-Full in the ordinary?

We all want Joy and God has purposed for us to have joy, yet we can look for it in all the wrong places. We can think when we get the next job promotion – then I will have joy, when I get a new car –  then I will have joy, when we get a house – then I will have joy etc.. And all of these things are good, but they are only temporal. 

Lasting joy is found in trusting God!
