Don't let circumstances steal your joy today.

by Dr. Anthony Murphy writer

Don't let circumstances steal your joy today.

Some people like to "push your buttons" by what they say.

We always have the opportunity to get offended it's true.

What makes the difference is what you say and do.

The enemy always wants to ruin your day.

He'll do this to aggravate you in an unforeseen some way.

He would love you to lose your cool and do or say something dumb.

Sometimes, I confess, that I was guilty and that unfortunate one.

I had an opportunity to get upset already this morning.

When I was cooking breakfast something happened without a warning.

It made me ruin my breakfast and I also burned my special organic bread.

But I chose to not let this little incident bother, but just smiled instead.

Throughout the day, you can bet you'll have your opportunity too.

The enemy is going to do what he can to upset and frustrate you.

You need to take control and be kind and cool and make God smile.

For some, staying in control of aggravations, it's be quite a while.

But today is a new day in your life and this is the day to change now.

Instead of letting everything bother you, be Christlike that's how.

Jesus had the opportunity to get angry and upset many times we know.

He simply stayed cool, forgave the person, and on with life He would go.
