Week 7 - Joy

Why is joy so often missing in our lives? Why do some Christians seem to be so acquainted with being miserable? Maybe because we simply forget. It’s easy to get tired and irritable and then to fall into self-pity. And self-pity is the great enemy of joy. We need to remember the great truths of the gospel from the Bible itself. We need to go over them in our minds until we realize how inconsistent it is to say we believe such wonderful gospel truths, and then still go around filled with misery and feeling sorry for ourselves and spreading gloom on all those around us.
