Dear friends,
I do love this devotional and the message it brings. Often we judge our day as “good” or “bad”. I think we should focus on having “God Days”–days in which, regardless of our circumstances, it was given to and lived in the presence of God. That is where true joy is found. God loves you and understands everything you’re going through. Talk to Him. He’s a GREAT listener! Hugs and Love, Scott

No Matter What your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in My Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless. Dull, gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as for hidden treasure.
Begin by remembering that I have created this day; it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that I am present with you whether you sense My Presence or not. Then, start talking with Me about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that I understand you perfectly, and I know exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating with Me, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of My marvelous Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.
Psalm 21:6 6 Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
Proverbs 2:4 4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure
