Joy Trumps Happiness – DREDD excerpt
The culture often uses Joy and Happiness interchangeably, but they are actually very different things. Happiness is a mere transitory positive feeling governed by fleeting external circumstance. Happiness is a full belly—it goes away when you get hungry again.

In contrast, Joy is not ephemeral. It is a permanent state of deep contentment that is unaffected by quotidian happenstance. Joy cares not whether a man’s belly is full or empty. It requires a long view, well past the toils and triumphs of any given day. The Q is a Joyful man under any and all circumstances because his vision is cast at beyond the day before him. His focus is on the end and beyond.

BOM:

Something is better than nothing.  In the parable of the stewards Jesus rewards to two stewards who invest the money but punishes the one who does nothing.  Jesus wants to bless our efforts and we get lost in perfectionism.  Do something.  Just start!!  Something is better than nothing.  Its easy to see our failures and freeze and do nothing.  Do something.  Don’t fix it all today but do something.

– Great work this morning – thanks for pushing each other

– So for this morning I’m gonna share something I’ve been pretty worried and anxious about with y’all. So my mom and sister are leaving Thursday to go to Europe for the whole summer and it’s just been weighing down on my heart for the past month with the state that the world is in and the terrible and evil terrorist attack that happened just last week even furthered my anxiety in regards to them leaving. And so questions started running through my head like “What if they don’t come back?” And I think processing these thoughts and praying about it helped me realize that that is exactly what the enemy wants to exceed at pulling us away from our faith in God and pushing us toward some dark places. But God has a funny way of showing up in the 11th hour, coming to our rescue and helping calm our hearts and so yesterday the verse of the day I get on my phone was 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”

– And one of my favorite sayings is “Keep the Faith” and I find that so hard to do a lot of the time. But then God shows up. So as we go out into jobs, school, families, and just living day to day in this world – I encourage all of us to Keep The Faith because whatever darkness or hard place you might be going through right now, He’ll show up. We wouldn’t be here today if that wasn’t true. That’s all I got.

– Any prayer requests?

– Pray it out
