Abundant Life
Joy in the Day of Trouble, Part 2
By Pastor John Hagee
Christmas is coming, and Christianity was born in the spirit of joy. The angels sang on that first Christmas morning, "Joy to the world, the Lord has come!" (Luke 2:10-11). No matter how fierce the storm is, we can experience a joy explosion through God's presence.
Paul declared in Philippians 4:4, "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!" He didn’t say to rejoice only when life is perfect. Joy isn’t based on circumstances—it’s rooted in Christ’s unchanging love. So, stop worrying about what you can’t control. Be still and know that He is God. Trust in His promises and rejoice always!
