Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
Philippians 3:1
Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be a one day event, it can be an ongoing attitude of rejoicing in the heart of every believer. Christians ought to be the most joyful people on the planet. We should be the most encouraged and the most encouraging people.
As we journey through life, we are to be filled with a joy that surpasses circumstances, a joy rooted not in fleeting moments, but in the eternal promises of God.
Our source of joy is a person – the God of hope. In His love, joy finds its truest expression. When life’s challenges threaten to steal our joy, we can turn to the promises of God, for in trusting Him, we become vessels for the overflow of joy and peace.
Are you rejoicing in the Lord today? Does your joy fill the room with the Light of Jesus? If not, God awaits the opportunity to fill your heart with joy the surpasses all understanding. Ask and you will receive.
Pray
Lord, thank You for being the source of joy and hope. As I journey through life, may Your joy continuously fill my heart. Grant me the wisdom to trust in Your promises, that I may overflow with hope by the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.
