Seeing What Isn't Working - #5730
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.

Joy in the Bible: 1 Peter 1:8-9
Joy is an inexpressible and glorious feeling like no other. It is a state of happiness that we rarely achieve but constantly crave. In 1 Peter, the author describes why the early Christians are feeling so joyful. He tells them that the effusive happiness they are feeling is because they are finally receiving salvation.
