Day 39 – Don’t Forget to Smile

“I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.” John 15:11

There was an advert long ago about a little boy telling his dad about their discussion in class about cars and how everybody boasted about their dad’s car being the best and when asked what did he say, his answer was: I just smiled. When chaos erupts, when tempers flare up, when things seem to go the wrong way, we just smile, because we know that what happens before our eyes is not the whole story, our God is at work and victory will surely belong to us.

Prayer: It is sometimes difficult to explain this calm assurance that is within us, Lord, the knowing that no matter what happens, everything will turn out for our good, we need only be still. It is a knowing smile that touches the corners of our mouths, Lord, a smile of faith, courage and power, the smile You smile because nothing can keep Your Word from being fulfilled. We rejoice in the ability to smile with You. In Jesus name. Amen
