JOY - Day 4

Weekly Prayer:

Lord, we rejoice in the gift of your Son and the joy He brings. May this joy be our strength, our source of happiness, and our reason for celebration this Christmas. Help us to share this joy with the world. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thursday December 26th: James 1:2-4

“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”

Reflection: How we view our circumstances shapes our disposition towards them. What trials are you facing? Choose to rejoice in the Lord. In the midst of whatever you are facing, He is shaping, molding and developing your trust and hope in Him. He will never lead to challenges that He isn't with you in the midst of, and won’t lead you through.
