Luke 2:10–11″Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”

DAILY READING; Acts 11:1-18; Joshua 11-12; Job 26

The book, ‘The View From Down Here is Just Fine’ is the incredible story of Clay Dyer. Born without arms and legs Dyer amazingly has become one of the top professional sport bass fishermen In the world..
Born with no fingers or thumb, Clay has never let these obstacles stop him.
He competes on the national pro fishing circuit, and he’s won about 20 state and regional fishing tournaments.
Despite his condition he gives all glory to God.
He only remembers one time when he questioned why God had made him this way. When he was almost 5 years old, he asked his father, ‘Daddy, why did God make me like this?’ His dad looked at him and said, ‘Son, I don’t know, but I know God doesn’t make mistakes.’
And with time he has come to see indeed that God doesn’t make mistakes. God made him for a purpose to be able to go out and witness and encourage people to live for Him.
Clay’s life is a testimony and inspiration to many people he comes across. Even with disabilities Clay has always managed to have an upbeat attitude and find ways to get around everyday living such as using his lips and teeth to type text messages on his phone.
He is happily married, and serves as Evangelist of the Gospel. His life motto is ‘If I can, You Can!! [Phil 4:13.]
In everything he has learned to give thanks.

Joy is not necessarily the absence of difficulties, rather it is the assurance of God’s Presence even in the midst of adversity.
After Jesus was born, an angel appeared to shepherds near Bethlehem and proclaimed, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10–11)
The good news of great joy did not end with the birth of Jesus, His presence in the world continues today to fill believers with inexplicable joy even in the most adverse circumstances.
Life is not always a bed of roses and sometimes, tough situations may arise, but in everything we keep giving God thanks because this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us.
As believers, Joy is the spiritual and emotional fuel we run on. As long as we can maintain our joy, we will certainly have the victory in every situation..
Our living is determined not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by the way our mind looks at what happens.
It is true we may sometimes pass through trials and temptations, but in everything we must be deliberate to exalt God above the circumstances.
We all face difficult situations in life. No one on earth is exempt from trials. But despite the difficult times, we have to deliberately make gratitude our attitude. We have to make it a habit to maintain our praise.
The truth is that God is always faithful. If we look back at our lives, at past trials, we will see that despite all we passed through, God’s grace has always brought us through.
Indeed despite all you have been through, look at what the Lord has done in your life! In spite of the obstacles and the oppositions, He has blessed and taken care of you.
Therefore no matter what you pass through today, the same God is available to again give you the victory. This is why we praise Him in all things. Because His grace and mercy never runs out, they are always new every morning.

PRAYER: Father, today I choose to give You thanks in all things! And no matter how difficult things may sometimes seem, I thank You because I know You are at work in my life and Your Glory is being revealed through me in Jesus Name.
