 “The Joy of Daily Decisions” 

 (Inspired by Micah 6:8) 

Sometimes we think joy is found in big moments — breakthroughs, blessings, or answered prayers. But often, the deepest joy is built through small, intentional decisions we make each day, grounded in the truth that we are living from God’s favor, not striving for it.

Morning — Honest Prayer (5 minutes)
Begin your day with five honest minutes before God. Ask:
What enemy will I face today?
Fear? Doubt? Busyness? God already knows — but He wants to meet you there.

Midday — One Act of Obedience
At some point during your day, choose to act. Obey that nudge from the Spirit.
Call someone back. Apologize. Forgive. Follow up.
Obedience opens doors for God’s grace to flow.

Evening — One Moment of Gratitude
As the day winds down, pause. In all the ups and downs of the last 24 hours — what are you grateful for?
A kind word? A small win? Simply making it through? Let your heart rest in thankfulness.

Weekly — One Act of Mercy
Once a week, go further: show mercy.
Give when it's inconvenient. Serve when it's unnoticed. Extend grace when it’s undeserved.
Because mercy mirrors the heart of the Father.

All of this — not to earn God’s love, but because you already have it. You are walking in His favor. Live like it.

In His Grace,
Pastor Darryl K. Cox
