James 1:2
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,...
In the various trials that I have gone through this year it made me ponder the word Joy. The word can be defined as "a calm delight." For the most part happiness is like glee it is for the moment and most people can recognized that one is happy. Joy, on the other hand is a gift from God, it is internal. It is what comes from the knowledge of knowing that God will provide, God will direct, God will remain faithful even when I am unfaithful. To Him I owe everthing.
