Smiling~

Psalm 5:11

King James Version (KJV)

 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:
 let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: 
let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

It is important to know that whatever it is that threatens to crush your spirit~ and rob your joy today will not necessary be here tomorrow, next week or even next year. Life goes on~circumstances change. The sun will come up tomorrow.

This reminder is enough to bring a respite to the soul. From here perhaps a glimmer of light can peek through the darkness. We must never forget that God in His sovereign love and power~ holds our lives in His hands and works according to His will.

My security~ my hope~ my peace and my joy come from knowing that this true. God expects my participation in how that I perceive the events in my life. I decide if I am going to view my experiences in a positive or a negative lens.

If I choose to look at life through those negative glasses then my life will feel out of whack. I have a choice and so do you. I don't have to be down hearted ~ and sad when the sky appears dark. I have the option to smile ~chuckle~laugh~and look for joy in the dark places. 

Today I am smiling~ I pray you are too!

Have a good and Godly day :)
