Because the world is such a dark place, we can often feel like we have no reason to be joyful. We feel like we have no reason to sing with joy. Between spiritual struggles, life not going the way you thought, and the messiness of the world, joy seems to have disappeared. But the Prophet Jeremiah would beg to differ. In Jeremiah 31, the prophet offers a message of restoration and hope that enables us to sing with joy even in our darkest days.
