Happiness Is a Decision

Joel Osteen

Happiness is a choice. When you wake up in the morning, you can choose what kind of day you want to have. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. Daily devotional by Joel Osteen

You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. Joel Osteen

You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. Joel Osteen




Happiness Is a Decision, Daily Devotional By Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church

Philippians 4
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV

John was ninety-two years old and blind, but he was just as sharp as could be when his wife, Eleanor, went to the Lord. He didn’t feel he should live alone, so John decided to move into a nice seniors’ home.

On the morning of the move, he was up and fully dressed by 8:00 a.m. As always, the elderly gentleman looked impeccable, with his hair perfectly combed and his face neatly clean-shaven.

A cab picked him up and took him to the seniors’ home. John arrived early, as was his habit, and waited several minutes before a young aide, Miranda, came to show him to his new room.

As John maneuvered his walker through the hallways, Miranda described his room in great detail. She said sunlight came in through a big window, and there was a comfortable couch, and a nice desk area.

Right in the middle of her description, John interrupted her and said, “I love it. I love it. I love it.”

Miranda laughed and said, “Sir, we’re not there yet. You haven’t seen it. Hold on just a minute, and I’ll show it to you.”


John said, “No, you don’t have to show it to me. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged. It depends on how my mind is arranged. Happiness is something you decide ahead of time.”

As wise old John understood, happiness is a choice. When you wake up in the morning, you can choose what kind of day you want to have.

You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.

Today’s Prayer
Father, today I choose to be happy. I choose to dwell on things that are good, true, pure, and lovely. Fill me with your peace as I keep my mind on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Why is this analogy important to us today? It is because we are the sheep and Jesus is the Shepherd.

The Voice of the Shepherd

Charles Stanley
Have you ever seen a child who cannot find his mother in a crowd? Although she may be out of sight, the little tyke may still hear her voice. It is almost as though his inner radar scans the sounds around him, looking for that one familiar tone.
Embrace your weakness and put your trust in the Holy Spirit. That’s where the real power resides.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Where the Real Power Resides

Charles R. Swindoll
The great apostle Paul was just like you and me. He had a love for God blended with feet of clay. Great passion . . . and great weakness. The longer I thought about this blend, the more evidence emerged from Scripture to support it.
Faith isn’t passive. It’s active. If you don’t believe me, read Hebrews 11.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Shut Up and Get Moving

Steven Furtick
When we’re looking for God to do something big. When we’re waiting to see God bring something new and greater into our lives. Be still. Let the Lord fight the battle for you. Let go and let God.
Trust in Him No matter what you are going through in life, you can trust God to be with you.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Some Positive Thing We Can Look at or Talk

Joyce Meyer
I once read a book that was based entirely on the word. He taught the reader to take each problem in his life, look at it honestly and then say “however,” and find something compensating positive in the individual's life that would put the problem into perspective.
The Bible makes it clear that we need to love each other as God loves us.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Learning the Love Languages

Gary Chapman
Many couples earnestly love each other but do not communicate their love in an effective way. If you don’t speak your spouse’s primary love language, he or she may not feel loved, even when you are showing love in other ways.
