Today we’re going to explore the role of the Holy Spirit in living with the joy available to us in God. Know that as a believer, the Holy Spirit is with you, ready to search the heart of God for you, and to give you this free gift of joy, if you’ll simply trust him and receive it.

 

May your relationship with the Spirit deepen today, and yield a joy so real and strong that no trial or tribulation could come against it.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7, and today's worship is 

Joy of the Lord by Dante Bowe and Katie Torwalt.

I’m Craig Denison, author of First15. Thank you so much for listening to today’s devotional on joy from the Spirit. 

 

Take a moment, before you go, to just reflect on what the Lord has done in your life today. Reflect on what God’s doing as you’re creating space to meet with him. And think about how that’s impacting not only your life, but also how you engage with others around you. Reflecting on the fruit of meeting with God is a powerful tool in developing consistency, faith, and ultimately fully centering your life around the purpose for which you were created, relationship. 

 

Have a wonderful rest of your day today, and may God bless you as you seek him.
