You have never seen Jesus, and you don’t see him now. But still you love him and have faith in him, and no words can tell how glad and happy you are to be saved. ~ 1 Peter 1:8 (CEV)
KEY IDEA: God is the source of our true and unending joy.
PRAYER:
God,
THANKS: Thank you for the joy that you and your salvation brings to my life.
REGRETS: When times are difficult I often look in the wrong places to generate a sense of happiness -- in spite of what you have already given to me.
INTERCESSION: Help me to narrow my focus so that it is on you exclusively. Hit the refresh button on my faith so that it boots up strong.
PURPOSE: I'm going to find my joy in you.
Amen.
