COT:

Our sermon this past Sunday was on real joy and how real joy is being filled with the presence of God day by day. So I have been thinking about that some and want to share a few excerpts from an article I found. It states:

According to the Bible, joy is not an accessory to the Christian life, a perk for shiny saints who can turn their frowns upside down. Rather, joy is tenacious. It fights. It grips the promises of God and won’t let go. And joy is not a mere good mood; it is ballast in our boats, an anchor in our storms, an immovable rock to stand on when the waves of life threaten to flatten us.

Despite what our culture tells you, real joy is not found in listening to yourself; it’s found in listening intently to God. It’s found when your “delight is in the law of the LORD” (Ps. 1:2), when your happiness is tethered not to circumstances but to promises, when you can’t get enough of your Bible.

I’ll end with this from John‬ ‭15‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬, Jesus says “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”

COT:
The Way of The Warrior. In a world where there is so clearly a lack of peace we are called to rest and put our hope in the Lord who is the only way we will ever obtain true peace. We cannot control the environment around us, but with the Lord’s help we can control how we respond and the choices we make. Peace is intimately connected to hope. Through the hope we have in Christ we are able to truly find rest. A reminder is that in our many struggles and battles, we have the Lord on our side who can calm the sea yet also provide for the birds. Therefore, we can have the confidence that he is always in control and will provide the peace that we long for and that is needed to navigate our battles.
