Friday 11th June  Rejoice - Joy reloaded 5.   Stagnant water stinks but moving water stays fresh. Just like we have to drain the oil out of the engine of a car when it has lost its viscosity and freshness and fill it with fresh oil; we must ensure the oil of joy within us stays fresh. Rejoicing is how we reload and refresh our joy supply and gratitude is the key to rejoicing.   When you can look at the situation challenging you and you can still break into praise, that’s what joy is all about.

Abraham clearly saw the odds against himself and Sarah having a child, his age and the deadness of Sarah’s womb but it made no difference because he was completely focused on God’s Word. He kept his faith and joy fresh by continual praise, and we know how the story ended – Isaac was born.   Gratitude means to appreciate and to appreciate is to rise. As
