Seven Ways to Cultivate Joy

This week our little part of the earth has begun to wake and warm up from a long, cold, and tiresome winter season. Last Sunday saw the start of Daylight Saving Time. So it is still light out as we finish our evening meal.
All this, as it were, turned over the soil of my heart and prepared me to receive the message of  Today's Topical Bible Study from BibleStudyTools.com entitled Seven Ways to Cultivate Joy from Insight for Living.
What I propose to do is to write a series of 7 posts that will focus on these 7 ways. This then is post 1.
"1. Rehearse with God the reasons you trust Him. Tell Him which of His attributes is your favorite right now. Read the praises of Scripture back to Him — begin with Psalm 103. Join with another believer in prayers of thanksgiving, and delight yourself in His character."
At Kelly Creek Community Church pastor Mike Martinig has just embarked on a series on the Attributes of God. As I think about it my favorite attribute of God is that He is a promise-keeping God. When I read my Bible I revel in the love that God, my Heavenly Father, has for me as I see all He promises me.


A request for submissions-

What is your favorite attribute of God? Why?    

On a more serious note- I am receiving many comments from this guy "anonymous". Usually he wants to sell me something, it makes me blush to think about it. So I am asking you to join The Ministers Cat so I won't miss your comments. Thanks.
