“Joy”
Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV
Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Luke 2:8-11 ESV
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the
Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone
around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the
angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good
news of great joy that will be for all the people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.
John 15:11 NKJV
“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain
in you, and that your joy may be full.
Happiness depends on what happens to you.

Joy is a choice and it comes through you.
Happiness is temporary, but joy is eternal.
JOY is;
The settled assurance that God is in control of every detail of
my life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything will be
alright, and the determined choice to praise God in all things.”
The number one thing that steals or hinders joy in your life is;
Trying to control the Un controllable’s in life.
Let Go and Let God.
Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Romans 14:17 ESV
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking
but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
