Joy

November 4 – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

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!

October 31 – Ephesians 1:18

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!
