LASTING JOY IN EVERY SEASON

Psalm 126:5 New King James Version
5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY GOOD FRIENDS!!!
I know you might find this very weird guys, but I really needed this morning scripture. I needed a reminder of the fact that I have joy that lasts beyond the mundane. That I have a joy like nothing else, because I know Christ as my savior, so that when life throws me a bunch of curveballs, and Satan tries to use them to take my joy, I am grateful for the fact that God is with me in every season, every hardship, trauma, and ruined birthday, letting me know that he loves me unconditionally, and is refilling my heart With, and helping me to rediscover the joy that only he offers!

I especially love the fact that there are scriptures out there that point us to the lasting joy that we can find in Christ in every circumstance. Verses like Job 23:10, Psalm 126:5, Philippians 4:4, and I Thessalonians 5:16, and much more, show that we can find and have lasting joy that comes only from Jesus Christ, and I'm so very grateful for them. I think that's why not only this Psalm this morning, but also the questions from this morning's devotional, I really stirring up and encouraging my heart today, and I had to share them with you. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God speaks to your heart and encourages you through them too.

What brings you joy during seasons of difficulty?

How does God's presence lift your spirits?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from his word this morning, as well as from what I learned out of Darlene's recent study on joy, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you encourages you to seek and pursue the lasting joy that you can find in Christ Jesus through every season of your life. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn this precious, powerful, and encouraging truth for yourself! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to echo something I shared last year because I feel it's very important, and I pray that it encourages you to seek the One that offers lasting joy through all seasons of life, no matter how difficult, or hard they may be. I pray tonight, that whatever trial, hardship, difficulty, trauma, or whatever it is that you were experiencing right now, that you purposely choose to seek, find, and live out the wise joy that is found only in Jesus Christ. Ask God every day, to help you find joy even in the most difficult of days, to remember that suffering does produce perseverance; perseverance produces character; and character, hope. Most of all, ask God to help you pursue, seek, and go after the truly wise joy that is found only in Him.

UNTIL MONDAY:

HAVE A SERENELY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
