Have you ever experienced some chaos at Christmas? There was much chaos at that first Christmas. In the Christmas story, we see that even when life feels out of control, God is still in control — and His joy shows up right in the middle of our chaos. Joy doesn’t disappear in crisis — it deepens when we see God’s hand guiding us through the chaos. Joy is a choice rooted in faith, not feelings. Obedience to God's call opens the door to joy.
