SCRIPTURE: Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. Proverbs 20:5
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Presence of God is the centre for joy; it is a joy station.
The Word of God reveals that there is a connection between your joy and your wisdom. It is with joy that wisdom is drawn out of a man’s heart (Isaiah 12:3). Wisdom is principally a product of the mind. So, whatever affects the state of the mind affects the flow of wisdom. This is why the negative emotions of depression, fear, doubt and anger affect the productivity of the mind.
Now, one major enemy of joy is DEPRESSION. It is an enemy that must be dealt with knowing fully well that your wisdom is determined by your joy.
Now, what are the dangers of depression?
Now, the wisdom of God for handling depression is to make the choice for joy. Joy is a choice and not a gift (Habakkuk 3:17, 18). Do not allow people to determine your joy because the devil knows that your joy determines your strength, wisdom and the anointing on your life.
My counsel is, look at your future with excitement (Jeremiah 29:11), and make the choice to rejoice always (Philippians 4:4); make up your mind to fight depression from your life.
REMEMBER THIS: The Presence of God is the centre for joy; it is a joy station.
ASSIGNMENTS:
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the joy of salvation. I receive the joy of the Lord today and I decree that nothing shall steal my joy, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
