Double Your Joy....

Yesterday as I was reading one of my many devotion books, I came across a passage that encouraged me for times that I feel in a struggle that has caused me to feel discouraged.  It was 

Isaiah 61:7 (English Standard Version)

7(A) Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;
instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
they shall have everlasting joy.

Joel Osteen went on to explain that if we have the right attitude during our challenging times--keep our faith strong, that God will bless us all the more--a "double portion" of peace and joy. I believe God's promises... I want to have that kind of attitude at all times so that I will have everlasting joy!

Whatever you're going through right now--whatever it is. You can believe in God's promise--we just have to keep the faith.

God bless you!
