The words joy, joyful and rejoice appear in the Bible over 400 times! When something is repeated, I believe it is being emphasized as something of importance! We should take note!
The secular definition of the word joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. What if we found great pleasure and happiness in Christ alone?! What if we lived our lives like HE is the ultimate gift and joy bringer!
Let’s spend the month of September CHOOSING JOY and learning the POWER of finding our joy in CHRIST ALONE. Does He give good gifts that bring us joy? Yes. But our joy, hope & peace cannot be based upon those things. The ultimate basis for our joy must be a firm trust in Jesus no matter what our circumstances may be. Or we will live a life of continual disappointment.
