Yesterday's Max Lucado in my computer inbox:

BE FULL OF JOY

"Philippians 4:4 commands, 'Be full of joy in the Lord always. Again I will say, be full of joy.'

"How can you be full of joy when you’ve got bills to pay and kids to raise? Those anxious, negative thoughts? Refuse to indulge them. Grab the weed of anxiety and give it a good yank. Then before the enemy can sow a seed, remind him and yourself that you live life 'in the Lord.'

"If you believe you face your problems alone, you will never find deep and lasting peace. On the other hand, if you believe that you face your challenges in the Lord—in the presence of the Lord, in the name of the Lord, in the power of the Lord, in the protection of the Lord—then you can be full of joy because you are full of the Lord."

If you just read what Max is saying above,
and thought, "I could never do that!"
