"The desire of the righteous is only good, but the expectation of the wicked is wrath." (Prov. 11:23) "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Phil. 4:4)

Daily choices:

We can choose to be in a good mood or we can choose to be in a bad mood. Let us choose the mood of rejoicing in the Lord.

When bad things happen, we can murmur and complain or we can choose to learn from our bad experiences. Let us endure and grow wiser.

When others come to us unjustly complaining, we can choose to be unhappy with them or we can be thankful that things aren't any worse than they are. Let us emphasize the positive side of life.
