The Christian life that is joyless is a discredit to God and a disgrace to itself. -Babcock
Nehemiah 8:10, “… the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
The Christmas Holidays are a time that can be a struggle for some. Love ones that have gone on to be with the Lord this past year will not be at the dinner table. Friends that use to come over have shunned you and moved on to other friends. This year especially has been a difficult year with Covid19, election, hurricane, earthquakes, fires out west, and a multitude of other issues have risen to rob us of our joy.
But friend, you are in control of your joy! You have to lay it down to be defeated! Paul and Silas sang while in jail. Job would not curse God and die. While facing the Cross Jesus said, “…nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”
Rejoice; Child of God! The Saviour has come! He saved your soul! He made you whole! He’s coming back like He said He would! Don’t forget it! Don’t fret over current circumstances! He is coming to redeem His own!
