Stay Connected to God

 The Bible says: 

For to Him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead Lion. Ecclesiastic 9:4. 

Staying connected helps to build confidence in God. Confidence means absolute faith and trust in God. It is standing on God's word and His promises in times of difficulties. 

When you remain confident of who you are in Christ, your joy constantly increases. 

When you build your confidence in God, joy unspeakable is stirred up. To enhance your joy, stay connected to God at all times, your circumstances notwithstanding. People who have their confidence in God are naturally joyful
