One definition for joy is having confidence in God. I like that, because our joy is tied to trusting God for everything. When we can have total faith and confidence in God we can live stress free. God has his hand on us, and we can live joyfully. We don’t have to try to figure out how to get what we want or need, we can rest securely in the fact that we are God’s sheep and we know His voice. We are led by the spirit, and His Word is our priority, so we can live in confidence. What a place of rest, and joy! Worst case scenario, or best case scenario, we don’t have to worry! We can confidently say, don’t worry be happy, or maybe even more correctly, don’t worry, be joyfilled! Just think of living in the joy of the Lord as being like a natural face lift. It definitely is a FAITH lift, but faith and confidence in our amazing God lets us live in a state of relaxation and joy. If you have listened to any health professionals about living with out stress, they say that it is good for every area of your life. Good for physical health, good for your family, good for your spouse, good for your work life. Choosing joy over worry, makes life better all around.
