Joy

‘He will yet fill your mouth with laughter...’ Job 8:21 NIV

One of the best ways to reduce stress is to keep your sense of humor. Don’t panic, don’t overreact, and don’t use unnecessary force. If you do people will avoid you. Happy people get more done than their oh-so-serious counterparts. Actually, being joyful can make a total difference to life, how you see it and how people are with you. Would you rather buy something from a stressed-out, angry or nasty salesman, or someone who’s good to be around? Would you rather hang out with someone who’s worrying or moaning or miserable or someone that’ll always cheer you up? ‘A cheerful heart is good medicine…’ (Proverbs 17:22 NIV) However, remember these things when it comes to humor: Make sure your jokes are at no one else’s expense.

It's easier to be frustrated and angry about something bad that has happened than to keep calm. I thank God for this devotional because stress from school and other responsibilities sometimes make me forget that there is Someone greater than our worries. :)
