Marked by Joy

FIRST15
About this episode

What would it be like to have unhindered, abundant joy in the midst of all circumstances? The beauty of the joy God longs to give is that it’s not fleeting or temporary. It is sustaining, strong and true. As we continue to discover what it means to live for heaven, today we look at what it means for us to be marked by joy.





Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 10:28, and today's worship is You Are My Joy by United Pursuit

Thank you so much for listening to today’s podcast on being marked by joy. 

 

If life is especially hard for you right now, where joy feels especially elusive. Take some time today to ask God where his joy is in the midst of your circumstances. When you face a trial or challenge, stop and invite God into that moment, and open your heart to receive his wisdom. 

 

The good news of the gospel is that God meets us where we are, and leads us to abundant life in the midst of anything life throws at us. 

 

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
