Choose Joy Daily
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1Thessalonians 5:16-18
There is a reason why God’s Word instructs us to “Rejoice always…” that’s because joy isn’t something that just happens to us. It is a choice we make daily, regardless of our circumstances. The Apostle Paul wrote these words not from comfort, but often from hardship. Yet he found joy because his focus was on Jesus, not his situation.
Today, choose joy. Rejoice not because everything is perfect, but because God is good. Joy comes from knowing that He is in control and working all things together for your good. Consider today the situation you can hand over to God so that your joy is not dependent on it?
Prayer for today: Father, Father, help me to choose joy today. Even when life feels uncertain, remind me that You are constant and faithful. I rejoice in You, my source of strength. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
