Choosing Joy

This is the day the LORD has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

This morning I choose joy.
Joy is a choice. 
In the world we live in, with the circumstances we find ourselves in, and with the people we find ourselves surrounded by……..we must choose, each and every day, to walk in joy. 
As we rise in the morning and face the day ahead, we must declare
“This is the day the Lord has made; (I) will rejoice and be glad in it.” 
And our joy will be contagious and touch the lives of those around us, in the midst of their world, circumstances and people. 
In choosing joy and in choosing to touch others, we will find purpose and meaning which will propel us forward into the destiny that God has for us. 
That destiny is not a distant “thing” but comes from the culmination of the daily walk we find ourselves in. 
Rejoice, even this morning!
