We enroll in college, masters programs, conferences, language school and even Drivers Education courses. Are you open to enroll in the school of the Holy Spirit this year? He can give you and education that far exceeds anything you can learn in a traditional classroom. Ask Him to teach you through the Word and have it confirmed by experiences in life.
Once when I was going through a dark time with one of our children, I opened the Bible and the Lord gave me Psalms 113:9; βHe makes the barren woman to be a joyful mother of spiritual children..β So I quietly asked the Lord what He meant here, and revelation came. If I wanted my children to be spiritual, I had to have a joyful attitude about life.
Depression is weakness but joy is your strength. The Holy Spirit was leading me out of a potentially depressing situation into a higher place. When you rejoice in the midst of circumstances, you are demonstrating that you are believing for victory in spite what you see.
