Today’s Message:
Christians are not exempted from the sorrows of life.
Many will try to pull us down and keep us down so that we will turn our backs on God.

But, the joy of the Lord is our strength. God’s joy strengthens and empowers us.
The Creator of the Universe, the Alpha and Omega, the Almighty One, the Heavenly Father, rejoices over you.
Knowing that God delights over you because you obey Him despite unfavorable circumstances inspires us to keep going. As long as our God is pleased, we continue glorifying Him no matter what people may say.
In return, we receive joy as a consequence of abiding in Christ. It is the fruit of following Him.
The joy of the Lord becomes our joy as we union with Him.
So, know that God is delighted in you and allow it to make you strong. Shalom!
