A Christian draws his joy, not from what's going on around him, but who Jesus is going on inside him. Nehemiah said, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2030:12-13&version=NIV 2009-09-14T13:12:10-05:00 Asher was born to Leah's servant, Zilpah, through Jacob. Leah named him Asher, which means, happy. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/seeing-what-is-not-working-5730 2009-09-09T14:58:01-05:00 Could it be that you've allowed yourself to start dwelling most of the time on what's wrong: what's wrong with your situation, what's wrong with your church, what's wrong with the people around you, what's wrong with your family members? Without realizing it, you've actually allowed yourself to become what the world already has more than enough of - a negatologist - a role really that is just totally unfitting for a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/go-bedience-5709 2009-09-09T11:27:34-05:00 You're waiting until there's more facts, until more of the risks are eliminated, to analyze the situation a little more, to get more signs.

You're following an all-powerful Lord who will never do you wrong! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2068:3&version=NIV 2009-07-20T15:14:12-05:00 Where is happiness found?
