Scripture:<\/strong> \u201cYou will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy.\u201d \u2014 Psalm 16:11<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thought for Today:<\/strong> Heaviness acts like spiritual gravity\u2014it wants to keep you pinned to the floor, focused on your problems. But Joy is the “buoyancy” of the Spirit. When you are filled with God\u2019s joy, you don’t just endure the water; you float above it! This joy isn’t a reaction to a good day; it\u2019s a reaction to a Good God. It\u2019s the “Secret Weapon” that allows you to whistle in the dark and sing in the storm. If you want to rise higher, you have to let go of the weights of worry and grab hold of the Joy of the Lord!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Work the Word<\/strong> Prayer:<\/strong> Lord, I trade this heaviness for Your joy. Thank You that in Your presence, I find everything I need to rise above. I choose to be joyful today because You are my Savior! In Jesus Name Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Truth to Remember:<\/strong> Joy is the “Lift” that takes you above the “Drag” of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scripture: \u201cYou will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy.\u201d \u2014 Psalm 16:11 Thought for Today: Heaviness acts like spiritual gravity\u2014it wants to keep … Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-refresh-your-soul","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1648"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1649,"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1648\/revisions\/1649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jesus365.live\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
The “Upward Shout”:<\/strong> When you feel a “heavy” thought today, stop immediately. Raise your hands and give God a “Shout of Joy”\u2014even just a “Hallelujah!” or a “Thank You, Lord!”\u2014for 30 seconds. Do it until the gravity of heaviness breaks and your spirit feels lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
