2 Timothy 2: 3-7
Run the race, finished the race, emphasis is on "finishing" Need hardwork and perseverance.
Scenario of Soldier, athlete, farmer

Happiness is emotion (cannot be commanded)
Joyful is a choice (can be commanded)
(rejoice is a attitude)
Time for mourning, comes repentance, and joy
How to endure?

**Joy is heavenly commodity**
the joy of the Lord is our strength
in the presence of HS, is the fullnest of joy
Keep God GOAL in mind
Deepest desire is to fulfil the will
