(This was a neighbor's yard decoration at Christmas... can't believe I forgot to share it with y'all in Dec... but it works with how I am feeling today!)I am feeling so happy today.... and I know what it is... it's called "the joy of the Lord"! I was diagnosed (yet again) with pnuemonia... this time it's in my right lung..... and I'm not feeling my best physically...had a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot and pills...
BUT!
The Joy of the Lord is my strength.......
and I have Peace that passes understanding!
I'm so thankful today that the joy, peace and happiness I feel in my soul..... is not predicated by circumstances.... because it's given to me by my Wonderful, Amazing, Loving, Wise, God...
One reason for joy.... no matter the circumstance.... is promises such as this scripture on my heart today: Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; For I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
Isn't God good? And I know with certainty He will bring me through this pnuemonia.....
