Never let anyone steal your joy. When we rest in the Lord we find ourselves in His perfect peace and it is a wonderful blessing He offers to His loved ones. Having said that the enemy does nothing but try to rob us of this very gift and take away our joy and peace. And as hard as it is to remain composed at all times and never allow our emotions to control us, we must really try. When we allow his attacks to affect us, we open up the door. We usher it in and give him a foot hold. And this can cause many of us to lose our footing. I am so grateful to my husband for being my strong rock when I am weak for he reminds me of God's peace and he has made a decision never to allow this world and its ways to affect him or his family. The bible tells us the Kingdom of God is not about eating or drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17 And that is what I am living my life by. I refuse to let anyone or anything rob me of my blessings and my peace in the Lord. The people of this world may be able to rob us of our money and our possessions but the one thing it can never do is steal from us our peace, joy, happiness and our salvation in Christ Jesus. Amen? Amen!
John 16:33
New International Version (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Psalm 16:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
