Your Month of Joy!
“Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.” Proverbs 12:20 (KJV)
This month is your month of joy. Living in joy is a choice that one has to make. We cannot live in this world and be joyful without making a conscious effort to make it happen. Living in joy as revealed in the opening scripture is choosing to be a counselor of peace. Thus, joy is the product of making a good choice (Deuteronomy 30:19). Dear beloved, what choice would you make? Allowing your heart to be filled with deceit cannot produce any joy in your life but only cause you to imagine or plot evil. The consequences of the evil plot are sadness, sorrow, bitterness, anger, pain, suffering, and death. On the other hand, choosing to be the counselor or promoter of peace will produce joy in your own life and in the lives of others. Remember that, as a child of God, the Holy Spirit is in your heart, so it shouldn’t be difficult to promote peace wherever you find yourself. When you gave your life to Christ Jesus, He made you a peacemaker, so cooperate with the Holy Spirit through His Word and fellowship, and He will live His life through you (2 Corinthians 5:18–20). Thus you will preach, teach, and share the gospel to people in your sphere of contact for their hearts to be convicted, thereby having peace with God, and their fellow human beings. Where there is peace, joy is present, and progress is seen in the lives of many. Hallelujah! God bless you!
Prayer Point: My righteous and holy Father, I’m so grateful for Your Word. I have made up my mind to cooperate with Your Spirit, and fellowship with You so that You can use me to bring about peace wherever I find myself, thereby producing joy and progress in the lives of many people in Jesus’ name. Amen!
