It is an attitude that creates reality, not the result of circumstances.
Joy comes from knowing God and His promises to us, even in the face of circumstances.
As we celebrate this Third Sunday of Advent, here are a few verses about joy for us to focus on.
Psalm 16:11 – “You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
Isaiah 12:6 – “Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
Luke 1:14 – “He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth…”
John 16:20 – “I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.”
Matthew 28:8 – “So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.”
Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
May the reality of Christ’s love for us fill us with unspeakable joy this week and always.
