BE JOYFUL

James 1:2 My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials,

If you only knew what happens in the spirit when you rejoice, you would rejoice every day.”

Rejoicing enables us to make progress in difficult times. Joy is the secret of faith and endurance. James 1:2 says to count it all joy when trouble comes. This must be why Job laughed at destruction and trouble. (Job 5:22) Of course some people may think you are a fool, but if you have found joy, you have found the secret of survival and success.

Joy is a powerful tool. Joy will get you on the other side with victory. If you remain joyful in the midst of what you are going through, you will see God's power manifest

That's why the Bible says we are to be joyful when we go through trails. It's because of what is on the other side of the test. So don't focus on the test. Focus on the victory that God has given you. 

 Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ.In John 16:33 He said, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
