30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE

 

Day 15: Grateful for Joy

Scripture: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”  (Nehemiah 8:10, KJV)

Devotion

Joy is more than a feeling, it is a spiritual strength that God places within us. Unlike happiness, which depends on circumstances, joy rises from the presence of God, the truth of His Word, and the assurance of His love. Even in challenging seasons, the joy of the Lord sustains us, lifts our spirits, and gives us the courage to keep going.

Joy reminds us that God is with us. It stirs hope, renews perspective, and transforms ordinary moments into reminders of His goodness. When we choose gratitude, our hearts become more aware of the joy that God has already placed inside us. Today, take time to notice the simple joys: breath in your lungs, God’s provision, a smile, a memory, a quiet moment. These are seeds of joy planted by His hands.

Affirmation

I am grateful for the joy God gives—a joy that strengthens and sustains me.

Prayer

Father, thank You for filling my heart with Your joy. Help me to walk in this joy daily, regardless of circumstances. Let Your joy be my strength today and always. Amen.

Reflection Question

What brings you God-given joy in this season of your life?
