Pandemics and political elections prove that our joy is far too dependent upon our circumstances. In the wake of the presidential election, liberals are jubilant and conservatives and upset—but what is the right attitude of the Christian’s heart? Joy—always joy. If you’ve lost your joy because one of more of your candidates lost the election, remember the Apostle Paul. He lived under an emperor who claimed to be god, was surrounded by pagan idols, and was wrongly imprisoned awaiting possible execution when he wrote: “Rejoice (have joy again) in the Lord always!” In the election of the heart, vote for joy!
