Psalm 126:5—May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of
joy.
Faith in the Lord gives us the great gift of contentment and
stability in a chaotic and fluctuating world.
There are no guarantees that life will be easy or that you will avoid
hardship. Just take a look at every
major Biblical figure – not a one escaped adversity! What we are guaranteed is the fruit of the
spirit, including joy. Certainly there
are times when we will feel sadness, loss, tragedy, anxiety, and a host of
other negative emotions. But when we
have faith, we understand that God is always in control even when the world
seems to be spinning out of control. We
can find peace in His perfection and joy in the harmony of the universe.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God for
the gift of joy. Pray that the Holy
Spirit would fill you up and overflow you with the fruit of the spirit. Notice
the joyous song of nature all around you, and thank God for His Perfect Plan in
your life.
