Our world is filled with numerous uncertainties and challenges. However happiness is still a choice and as believers in Christ, we must learn to find joy through the challenges.
Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
The psalmist here, through divine inspiration, tells every believer to be happy and to rejoice in joy. He tells them to make a joyful noise to God! There is no challenge you face today that many others have not faced. You need to develop a positive attitude toward life and the challenges that will come your way.
