The life of every believer, has some form of personal difficulties, that we will definitely withstand, by the help of God our Father, regardless of anything, as the Apostle claims, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness” (James 1:2-3). The assurance of joy, that would come to us, is founded on the faith that Christ is pleading for us to the Father, eternally, “Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God” (Heb 12:2). The Psalmist also reassures, for he himself received help from Heaven, and enjoyed true peace and joy; hence he sings, “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him” (Ps 28:7). Let’s be hopeful and happy, and make each other happy.

Abba, thank You for keeping us joyful. Let Your Spirit rejoice and worship you all the time, in Jesus’ Most Wonderful Name, Amen.
