Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Wednesday, March 6, 2024
Today's Passage : Today's Passage :Jesus Gives You Joy Bible Verse:John 17:13 "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.” " Message:
True joy only comes through your relationship with Jesus Christ. He promises joy to all who follow Him.
In the last few hours before His trial and crucifixion, Jesus prayed for His disciples and everyone who would follow Him. As followers of Christ, we can claim that prayer today.
In that prayer, Jesus prayed God would protect those who followed Him and that they would receive the full measure of His joy.
Jesus was a joyful man. He was not the pious, sorrowful person as depicted in so many films. His joyful countenance attracted individuals and crowds. I believe Jesus was the most joy-filled person who ever walked the earth.
There is a difference between being joyful and happy. You are happy when everything is going your way. Joy is not dependent on your situation. Joy comes from the confidence that God is working in your life to bring about his good plan for you. Joy gives you the strength to face the most challenging times in life with the assurance that God is in control. Joy comes springing up from within, no matter what is happening around you.
The source of Jesus’ joy was his uninterrupted fellowship with God the Father. That same source of joy is available to us today.
You can’t work on being joyful. You can’y say, “Today, I will be joyful.” Joy is something you receive. The source of joy is the Holy Spirit freely filling and working in your life. The second fruit of the Spirit is “joy.” The fruit of the Spirit grows in your life as a result of the Holy Spirit filling you.
Jesus’ prayer for you today is that you live in the same measure of Joy that He did as He walked on this earth. Imagine living in the joy of Jesus every day.
