When was the last time you
faced a difficult situation?
Did you face it with Joy?
Did you face it with Joy?
Even when you realized a loved one was behind the ordeal and your integrity and character challenged? How did you respond?
We know this
intellectually that we wrestle not against flesh an blood, but against unseen schemes of the enemy in the heavenly places, but our hearts get in the way. We find ourselves scrambling
to overcome by our own strength and resources during this type of trial.
Consider Hegeomai
to lead, to go
before, to be a leader, to rule, command, to have authority over, chief
spokesman
to think,
deem, consider, account
joy: chara
joy, gladness,
the joy received from you, the cause or occasion for joy
Let’s break it down.
You and I can take the leadership role and
become the chief spokesperson in our trials and difficult circumstances. We can speak words of hope, joy, confidence
and truth. In doing so, we take command
of the situation and, even though the circumstance does not change in a moment,
our attitude about it will remain on the Lord who is always and forever in
complete control of all things.
RESPOND:
What challenging situation or moment are you
facing in your life today? This season?
Are you worried, fearful, anxious?
Have you been trying to solve the problem on your own? Will you stop for a few moments and take
charge over your thoughts and be glad? Let
others receive joy from you. God has given you a reason to celebrate… He is in control.
