#21 Rejoice always?! I have enough trouble just getting through the day! 4 steps to finding JOY, and En-joying your life!

All too often I see believers struggling with the admonition we find throughout scripture, to rejoice always, and I believe the reason for this has to do with the fact that we know longer understand what this word really means. Joy, Enjoy and Rejoice have all been reduced to feelings associate with being happy, or pleasure; so how can we rejoice when we’re feeling stressed or grieving; how can we enjoy life, when things are going wrong and times are tough; how can we be joyful, when we are full of anxiety, stress and grief? And what sort of God expects that of us? And all too often when we seek the answer to these questions, we’re told to just “fake it until you make!”

Today we’re going to look at Joy, Enjoy, and Rejoice, and dig a little into their origins and meanings so that our perception of the admonition to rejoice always, goes from 'feeling Happy, glad or delighted always'. To 'being full of the source of pleasure and happiness and being able to use or benefit form it always'. And I’m going to give you 4 steps to finding Joy, knowing it’s uses and benefits, and how to infuse it into your daily life.
