.Joy.

Joy gives strength, health and happiness. We can be joyful and sorrowful at the same time. Joy is a condition of the Spirit and sorrow is a condition of the soul. In this lesson, we will discuss how to increase joy, things that diminish joy, tests that produce joy, reasons to rejoice and what are the steps to rejoicing in Psalm 105. Then, we can practice the development of mature thinking skills in times of trouble. Joy is not a suggestion. It is a command! We are to have joy in trials, tribulation, persecution, afflictions and distresses.
