Have you checked your spiritual joy tank lately? Seriously. Don't you want more joy in your life? Whether your tank is half-empty or half-full, there's the possibility you're missing out on the level of joy you were always meant to have!
God's Word emphasizes that Jesus wants us to have access to supernatural joy in a fulfilling and a sustained way (John 15:11). If numb has become our new normal, it might be time to discover why "Joy to the World," is not just a cheery thought. Joy has come, and every heart should prepare Him room.
Are you looking for an uplifting read? Dig into the power of a joyful life and see how these sound strategies can bolster your faith, hope, and strength for the days that lie ahead. No matter what you are facing, you have the capacity to stay calm & joy-up! All you need to do is look a little closer at the source.
This book explores joy as a spiritual product of our walk with Jesus. Some of the questions it answers include the following:
- What does it look like for the Christian life to be fruitful?
- How can we have joy when we are living in perilous times?
- Can joy help us "show up" for life in a world that offers little hope?
When joy is in low supply, don't we struggle to make good decisions? At the same time, our thoughts won't be God-honoring nor our conversations filled with life-giving words if we find ourselves feeling as parched and joyless as dry bones. If that's where we are right now, we need a joy injection to propel our souls into action.
The post-pandemic world offers no indication that things will get better. Across all socio-economic groups, the statistics seem to indicate that where there is no joy, spiritual, mental, and physical deterioration is rife. Is it any wonder that we are floundering under depression, suicide, childhood and adult anxiety, and more? Yes, joy is the antidote to so much of what we are facing and what is to come. Are we ready to fight with joyful resilience? Joy can be our strength if we learn how to wield it. So, stay calm and joy-up!
