This evening I'm sharing a very meaningful devotion for me from the entry for October 6th 'Jesus Calling: A 365 Day Journaling Devotional', -
Remember that Joy is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world's most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True Joy is a by-product of living in My Presence. Therefore you can experience it in palaces, in prisons . . . anywhere.
Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with Me. Many of the problems that clamor for your attention will resolve themselves. Other matters you must deal with, but I will help you with them. If you make problem-solving secondary to the goal of living close to Me, you can find Joy even in your most difficult days.
This is all I have energy for at end of day today, fatigue is still very much a factor to be worked around.
With God's help, I am gradually dealing with the matters that must be dealt with during this time and finding unexpected sources of Joy in the process.
Hopefully tomorrow I will continue with the posts I have promised.
Take care everyone.
