Do you nurture it, seek it? Does it daily overtake you? You know WE are called to be JOYFUL, as children of the KING it should naturally flow out of us. Joy is internal, from our relationship with Christ, unlike happiness which is external, fleeting and bound to circumstances. We CHOSE JOY. We may not be happy in the circumstance we are in, but we can CHOSE to have Joy in knowing that it is for our refinement in Christ, for his greater Glory...after all HE is the JOY that is set before us in eternity, much like you and I were the JOY set before him when he endured the cross. His love and value for the ransomed of the Lord, the JOY set before him helped him endure excruciating circumstances. (Hebrews 12:2)
Aim to get the form down just right before lifting too heavy on a GS right away, even as something as light as a 15 pound dumbbell if you are new to the move or new to deep squats will leave you sore the next few days. GREAT butt and leg exercise, as always, keep the core engaged and keep that JOY turned UP!!
What do YOU do for your JOY?
