Rejoice in the Lord alway

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. (Philippians 4:4)
 
How wonderful is this truth? 
 
The Lord is the source of our joy and strength!
 
We don’t have to put pressure on ourselves to try to dig up joy where it cannot be found. God has everything we need in this life and beyond!
 
Because we have been united with Christ, He is the giver of our hope, peace, comfort, joy and strength. 
 
Even in difficult seasons, you can still have His joy.
 
His word says to be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life!
 
We don’t have to wait for life to be perfect and problem-free in order to access all that He has for us. Since He is always with you, the joy and peace of His life-changing presence is always available to you.
 
When you accepted Jesus into your heart, He sanctioned you to rise above all circumstances of life. As children of God, we are not held down by the weight of the world.
 
As you go through today, ponder on what He has done for you and all He’s already given.
 
Whispering His name and saying, “Jesus, you are my joy” is all it takes to remind you of His never-changing presence.

This devotion blessed me, I pray it encourages you to whisper, “Jesus, you are my joy”.
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!


Are You in Need of Joy today?

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. (Philippians 4:4)
 
No matter what season you are in, you can still have joy! 

The joy we receive from the Lord transcends circumstances. 
 
Regardless of what is happening in the world or around us in our personal lives, the supernatural joy of the Lord can still be found. 
 
You don’t have to wait around while being a slave to life’s circumstances in order to have joy in your heart. 
 

You don’t have to depend only on what you see in the natural. 

As a child of the most high God, you have been sanctioned to rise above all circumstances of life!

 
Knowing how good He is through your personal relationship with Him and knowing how much He cares for you also gives you joy.
 
His incredible love alone, who He is and what He has promised you are all reasons to rejoice in every season! 
 
Are you in need of joy today? 
 
Know that the Lord longs for you to receive it, for He has already paid the price for you to have it! 

As His beloved child, His joy that is your strength is your birthright! Don’t let the enemy rob you of what rightly belongs to you!
 

Today, take a moment to whisper to yourself, “Lord, you are my joy.”

“Lord, thank you that I can rejoice in every season of life, no matter what! Help me to remember your goodness, grace and incredible love. Thank you for helping me to access the heavenly joy you’ve already given me!”

 
When I read this devotion I was blessed by it. As it says, take a moment today and whisper to yourself, or shout it for the world to hear, it’s your choice, “Lord, You are my joy.”
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!


Celebrate with Joy

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. (Philippians 4:4)
 
It’s time to celebrate Jesus! But the only way we can do that is to be present and filled with joy. Let’s choose joy and grace today. Not only in the good parts of the celebration, but in the hard things, the disappointment, and the chaos. May we discover comfort and hope even as we navigate the squabbles, the burnt food, and the tangled hearts. Let’s give grace so we can discover joy.
 
Father, please give me the joy of a child! Help me stop striving to create the perfect holiday and instead embrace the celebration of Your birth. I want to see this season with hope and excitement for the amazing gift You’ve given me! Amen
 
Philippians 2:9-11
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
 

Embrace the celebration of His birth! Let us not forget the true reason we celebrate. 

Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
 
Merry Christmas!
