Description

Where do you turn when you’re searching for joy? We often convince ourselves that joy will come when our circumstances change, our problems are solved, or life finally settles down. But what if you don’t have to wait for everything to fall into place before you can experience joy? In Luke 1:39–45, we see Mary and Elizabeth respond with joy because of the presence of Jesus and their trust in God’s promises. Their story reminds us that Christian joy isn’t found in perfect circumstances. It’s found in Christ. Even in seasons of uncertainty, grief, and waiting, we can rejoice because of who Jesus is and what He has promised. Discover how to turn your attention toward Christ, celebrate God’s work in the lives of others, trust Jesus as Lord, and find lasting joy in His presence, even when life hasn’t changed.
