There are so many days of our lives that we feel far away from joy. We are all searching for it, yet none of us can quite figure out where it is. The good news is that we serve a God who is the source of joy. Read this devotional with Rhett Walker and discover where the joy is!

Drawing on her own experiences, Katie Davis Majors reminds us that any peace we get from “knowing” our plans, from trying to control the future, is false and temporary. But a peace that comes from trusting in God’s promises will carry us along, bring us through, and lead us home. The peace that comes from trusting in God can never lead us astray, for “He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23).

Life is hard. No matter who you are, where you are. Life is hard. Even as followers of Christ, we experience all the hurt and pain of this broken world. In Romans 8:22-25, in the middle of one of the most theologically packed and beautiful chapters in the Bible, the apostle Paul teaches us that we can find hope even in the hard.

Has your joy disappeared like water from a dry well? Your bucket scrapes the bottom but all you bring up is dust. Joy is a gift from God. It’s not something you can earn or manufacture, and you don’t have to fake happiness to be a “good” Christian. Discover the joy of receiving joy, even as you hope for the fullness of joy to come.

There’s no doubt that we gravitate to the promises of God. The side we don’t like is the side of struggle when following Jesus. Walking and living for Jesus will bring both great and difficult times. Jesus warns us about these days and the way people will respond to us because of how they respond to Him. Take heart – Jesus hasn’t left us alone– we have the Holy Spirit!
