How do I obtain Joy? Romans 15:13
Warren Wiersbe defines joy as “that inward peace and sufficiency that is not affected by outward circumstances.”
When we are filled with peace and joy, life is as good as it gets. Even the hard times are endurable with peace and joy. Without peace and joy, even the best of times are bad. We can only enjoy true peace and joy when we trust in God. We have to know that there is a loving Creator who is big enough and gracious enough to get us through the rocky roads of life. We might experience temporary times of joy due to worldly pleasures, but the only lasting peace and joy come from trusting a Sovereign God. —Dr. Sam Smith
