Ever noticed how what we expect tends to be exactly what we find? Take the father diving in Bora Bora who, despite swimming among reef sharks, experienced beauty rather than fear because of his perspective. This powerful principle lies at the heart of today's reflection.
Joy isn't the absence of problems—it's maintaining the right mindset regardless of circumstances. As Psalm 126:3 reminds us, "The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy." Even through life's most difficult moments, God's peace and joy remain available to us. The question becomes: what are we focused on?
Today, I challenge you to raise your expectations of God's goodness. Look for His presence, guidance, and yes—even moments of joy—no matter what challenges you're facing. Like swimming with sharks but seeing beauty instead of danger, your perspective changes everything.
