Joy doesn’t come from the money, fame & stuff

Hey Kings & Queens, 


I hope you are healthy, cute & well! Lol I was reflecting on the phrase “the joy of the Lord is my strength” which comes from the verse Nehemiah 8:10.


Sometimes we get busy doing everything we need to do. Our plates are full! Some of us have kids, enrolled in school, work full time, have a crazy baby momma/baby daddy, we’re starting businesses, trying to invest in stocks, etc. & we get used to the busyness & routines of our full lives. 


When our plates are super full, we can get weary & tired sometimes. Although we’re doing everything for everyone, we’re doing our best, & we may be right in the middle of purpose, buttttttt.....we still get overwhelmed!

We're human.


Guess what? If you connect back to the vine (John 15) by praying, worshipping, journaling & tapping into God (however you do that), HE will renew your joy & strength!

Joy comes from HIM, not from the things.

Don't get me wrong, the things are nice! Taking care of business is nice. Feeding and teaching our kids is nice. The money, fame & stuff is very nice.

BUT, pure joy, peace, and happiness come from the Father!

I encourage you to join me this week by starting your day with worship, prayer & spending time in God's word.

Maybe start with 15 minutes if you can. If you can do more, 30 minutes- 1 hour. 
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. 

Seek Him and He will fill your cup and give you your joy back. Joy that overflowing! 

Love you!

Please comment how your morning devotionals are going!
​ Of course leave prayer requests & comments. 

Blessings, 
Shameka
