Joy is not the absence of problems—it’s the presence of God in the middle of them. Choosing joy is a daily decision to trust God’s goodness, even when circumstances don’t feel good. 📖 “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10) Life will bring challenges, delays, and disappointments, but joy anchors our hearts in what never changes—God’s faithfulness. When we choose joy, we’re not denying pain; we’re declaring that God is still in control. Choosing joy daily means: Gratitude over grumbling Trust over worry Praise over complaining Hope over discouragement Joy grows when we fix our eyes on God instead of our problems. As we walk with Him daily, joy becomes our strength, not just a feeling. What is one way you can intentionally choose joy today?
