Isaiah 12:4-5


What a striking reminder. God calls me to have a thankful heart in all circumstances, be it good or bad. With my melancholic personality, I find this difficult especially when my mood is down. But here I remember the difference between joy and happiness. 

Happiness is circumstantial but joy is a disposition anchored in an unchanging Truth. I have not been calling out to the Lord like I used to and so it is not surprising that I've been relying on my strength through the challenges of life. I pray that God will truly convict me to make Him the ultimate purpose and joy of my ministry and service. Pray with me.
