10 Days of Unspeakable Joy

She Laughs!

All our goals, as a woman, can be found in Proverbs 31:1-31. The Proverbs 31 woman is the “ultimate woman” we could say. Of the many traits this woman has, the one that stands out the most for me is, “she laughs without fear of the future (Proverbs 31:25 NLT).” Fear will rob you of your laughter. Worrying about your children, your marriage, your life, your husband, or anything else, will steal your ability to laugh. Fear may feel rational and realistic, but fear is actually a misuse of your imagination. Use your imagination for good thoughts, for godly thoughts. Fill your imagination with images of seeing yourself laughing. Close your eyes right now and picture yourself enjoying life and laughing so hard your belly hurts. Ephesians 3:20 says that God “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think” (King James Version KJV). So, if you’re imagining a future full of fear, don’t expect a life of happiness and laughter. I hear people say, “but it’s just not that easy!” Yes, it is that easy! You can tell your mind what to think. Just like you tell your hand to pick up a fork to eat, you can tell your mind what to think. If you have Jesus, you have self-control. So, it’s a habit you must practice. Practice setting your mind on a future of joy and laughter and you will have joy and laughter! “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7 AMPC). What we think in our hearts we will be. God has good plans for you! Sit back, trust God, and LAUGH!

As you go through the day today, look for opportunities to just laugh. Even if you have to faith it until you make it, at first, just laugh! I promise, one day you’re going to look back, like me, and have a life full of laughter!

As I am typing this, I am laughing, because some people say I laugh too much or that I am always smiling. I can’t help it! I am full of joy! When you have joy unspeakable, it shows on your face!

Application time: Ask yourself, does your face show joy? Ask God to overwhelm you with so much joy that your face actually shows it!! Write down some things that make you smile and go fill your life with those things!

10 Days of Unspeakable Joy

This devotional is dedicated to my husband, Justin Wash, who is, and has always been, my biggest cheerleader. Thank you, Justin, for never leaving me and for loving me all these years. You're my greatest inspiration. I wrote this because I received a challenging phone call. At that moment I decided, wherever the enemy, or life, tries bringing me down, I’m going to rise with the word of God. I made teaching people joy, through my testimony and scripture, my mission. I pray this devotional brings you an understanding of the joy that’s inside you. You must release it!
