We can be irritated at what is happening (for me, it was a loud chirping sound - like crickets - audible just to me, that lasted all night)
🙂 OR - we can say I’m going to not listen to whatever that is and I am going to choose to focus on blessings around me. Amazing friends and family, a wonderful job, our church and life groups, food to eat, a warm home - so many things that other people would LOVE to have.
We can’t control our circumstances, but we can set the tone for the day. It’s all about our focus!
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and JOY in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17
“I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of JOY; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:8-11
“A JOYFUL heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Proverbs 17:22
“For you shall go out in JOY and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12
“May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with JOY.” Colossians 1:11
