Joy verses Complaining by Angelika Smith

October 1 - The Divine Mentor Reading Plan - Psalm 126:3


S: My verse was Psalm 126:3 - 

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy (NIV)

Application: 

My A was that God has done so much in my life, so many blessing, and the good far outweighs the bad, the best of all was Him loving me, saving me, Jesus giving his life for me, dying for me so that I may live. I should be joyful all the time, a smile on my face, but what do I do? 
The slightest problem and I am praying for help, asking for more and more. 
He has done so much and it is never enough for me.
Compared to most of the world, I live a life of privilege and am blessed beyond compare.


Prayer 

My prayer is that the next time I feel like screaming over a messy house, dishes not done, not enough money to pay this months bills, someone being mean to me or just waking up feeling depressed over the bad things and heartaches that happened in my life, for Jesus to remind me how blessed I truly am and to be joyful no matter what the circumstances, after all He has done great things for us.  I called it "enough already"

Another reason for me to share this today is that after I wrote in my journal, I turned on Joyce Meyer and she was speaking on joy. On how we so often live by our feelings instead.


Thanks for letting me share. Have a great day.

Lots of love,
Angelika
