As I was thinking about all that I have going on in my life, I was reminded of the song, “Don’t worry be happy.”  Catchy lyrics with a message, a message that the Bible promotes as well.

God wants us to have joy no matter the circumstances, “…and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:2

We are going to have trouble in this world.  We should not worry “because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven.”  I pray that you are, “strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;” Col 1:5, 11.
