Yesterday a friend mentioned how 2009 was one of their worst years. Not only was their expression sad but I could feel the pain as the words were spoken. I not only understood the thought processes behind the remark but also knew some of the pains they had undergone over the year. As I thought about my friend and what I could do for them I realised that we all in life go through those times where we wonder where is God?
As I think about it I remember Job. This gentleman had no right to suffer but God decided to showcase him to the enemy of our souls. This guy was enjoying life and seeking God in all intents and purposes but what hit him was shocking. In the midst of this crisis he had 4 people around him; 3 friends and his wife. He grieved so much that for 7 days they said nothing because his grief was great. Man talk about pain. I had always wondered why we suffer but I have decided to look at this plight in another way. God was simply showing off. As you go through 2010 no matter which valley or mountain you encounter, understand it's an opportunity for God to show off. Resolve that this year in every situation you face you will come out better.
My mind is made up that in 2010 my mouth will be filled with laughter and my lips with praises. No complaining or mourning will be found in me. Walk through life with an expectancy that your days will be filled with joy. Even when life seems hard, you know those times where the rubber meets the road and there is severe friction because of hard braking, make it your choice to believe that you will come out better. To have an expectation that you will consistently laugh opens the doors of life to you. It's a well known fact that laughter is good medicine. Laughter is good medication against depression.
I urge you that this year agree with the Word of God that declares that "He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with rejoicing Job 8:21". Prepare to have the best days of your life. This year my speech will be delightsome as I share good news of God's abundance and mercies to me. Join me in agreeing with the record of Heaven -the bible- that this year you and I will prevail resulting in many expressions of joy.
