Your Joy depends on your relationship with God, not your circumstances!!

[Lynn D. Walker]

Sarah Young wrote, "If you make problem solving secondary to the goal of living close to [Jesus], you can find Joy even your most difficult days." The old prophet, Habakkuk, said it kind of like this, "I don't care if the fig tree don't bloom, I don't care if there ain't no grapes in the vineyard, I don't care if the cotton crop fails or the wheat don' grow, and there may not be any sheep in the pen or cattle in the pasture; it don't make no difference cause I'm STILL gonna rejoice in the Lord, I will find my Joy in God my Savior!!! The one and only, Sovereign Lord is my strength and you know He makes my feet like the feet of a buck deer so I can run, and jump, and climb and go on to new heights and get out of this mess!!! (see Habakkuk 3:17-19) The moral of the story?? Stay focused on Jesus and keep on climbing because your Joy does NOT depend on your circumstances. I am praying that you find higher ground and Joy in the Lord today. Blessings, ~Pastor Lynn
