Intro:
This week we continue to talk about increasing our joy level. Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. We are going to talk about some unexpected ways to get more joy this week, like getting out of a rut, and making necessary changes to live life more abundantly. Another way to get more joy is by praising. We can sing for joy, we can shout for joy, we can dance for joy. So if you need joy, start singing, start shouting, start dancing! Your life can be more joyfilled starting right now. Here is your daily eword.
Have you ever felt stuck and wonder how to get unstuck? One of my husband’s favorite things to do when he speaks on marriage is have each person look at their mate and say, I’m stuck! Then he says, that makes me happy! In the marriage covenant, being stuck is a good thing. We’ve made a covenant, said some sacred vows, and made a decision to be stuck! Being stuck in a rut is a whole different thing. You might have heard that a rut is just a grave with both end kicked out. We can get stuck doing or even believing the same thing, and it can feel like there is no way out of the situation we are in. In a situation like that, it is so good to remember that what we can’t do, God can do! We need to begin to meditate on God’s Word and remember with God all things are possible. Remind yourself of these truths:
I have power, love and a sound mind
I am a new creation in Christ
I am chosen for success
I am complete
I am secure
I am confident
I am free
I am capable
I am spiritually alive
I am God’s workmanship
I am welcome in God’s presence
I am protected by God.
I am who God says I am
I believe God’s truth about me
His truth has set me free!
I don’t have to stay stuck!
So instead of sinking into hopelessness, and negative thinking, and remaining stuck, believe that you are getting unstuck by the power of God that is at work within you. Your life can be joyfilled! Great days are ahead for you!
