Luke 1:14

Have you ever given up on a dream because you think it could never come true? Zacharias had always wanted a child, but his wife Elizabeth was barren. On his own, Zacharias couldn’t make it happen. But with God, all things are possible! When Elizabeth was 60 years old, an angel of the Lord came to Zacharias and told him not only was his wife going to get pregnant, but it would be a boy! God blessed Zacharias with his son John whose great work would be to prepare the hearts of the people to receive the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Romans 15:13

Hope, Joy, and peace aren’t things we just wish for around the holidays. As a Christian, God wants everyday to be filled with the hope, joy, and peace that He alone can provide. We have hope knowing that God wants the best for us, and always fulfills His promises. We have joy feeling the great love God has for us, as shown in the blessings we receive each day. And we have peace knowing that when we make God our refuge, we are in the safe under the wings of the Creator of the universe!

Psalm 28:7

Did you know that singing not only can boost your mood, but also alleviate anxiety and stress? David knew all about anxiety. Constantly chased by his enemies and a king who wanted him dead, the book of Psalms is filled with the cries of David for deliverance. But even when it seemed hopeless, he never gave up, never gave in to despair. Instead David remembered the promises of his Father in heaven, and trusted in His goodness. And from a heart filled with joy, sang songs of praise to God for His love and faithfulness.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

It’s easy to thank God during the good times, but what about the bad? Although trials are never easy, God wants us to be able to find gratitude in each tribulation we face. But how do we thank Him when it feels as though our tears will never dry, our hearts will never heal, and our circumstance will never change? On our own it’s impossible. But in the strength of Jesus, the impossible becomes possible. When we walk with the Lord and lay all things at His feet, we can not only thank God in all things, we can also experience the peace and joy of knowing everything is in the perfect hands of God who loves us most!

Ephesians 1:18

Gratitude is important. God wants us to be thankful everyday for the blessings that He so freely gives us. But you know what else is important? Joy. God also wants us to feel the joy that comes with His blessings. Joy from knowing that our Father in heaven, through His unmerited love, sent His Son to die so that we can live. God calls us beloved, righteous, and His. He blesses us abundantly not because He has to, but because He wants to. And knowing this, should light up our hearts with great joy!
