Find Joy
A devotional journey to find true joy in all circumstances.
On the night Jesus was born, the angels declared to the shepherds that they were bringing good news of great joy. God asks us to consider it joy when we endure trials. Multiple Bible verses remind us to rejoice always. But how do we find joy when we are worried about finances, unhappy with our work or marriage, or fearful about the future? Is it possible to rejoice when we are discouraged or feeling like we're just going through the motions? The answer is a resounding yes! We can experience true joy regardless of our circumstances - it is one of the reasons Jesus came! And it's a gift that only God can provide.
In this 60-day devotional, Shaunti Feldhahn focuses on eight key elements of finding joy. Through a series of stories, biblical lessons, and the truths of how we are created, she guides you on a journey to transform your thinking and find Christ-focused wonder in the midst of everyday life no matter what your situation might be. Joy is not a positive-thinking exercise. Joy is an intentional choice that will transform your heart.
