When we are joyful, we are able to confront life with its many situations, with a guarantee of success! The Lord wants us to rejoice and be merry so that we can face whatever is upon us with gladness in our hearts, giving us the protection we need to rise above our circumstances. As we live in this way, we are able to enjoy our lives every day, serving the Lord, without worrying about any issues or challenges we may be facing. This in turn, opens the door for us to receive many blessings, giving us opportunities that we would not otherwise see...
Proverbs 15:15 "But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast."
