The Apostle Paul taught that the experience of authentic joy in the Lord is so important to the believer that he will keep teaching it over and over until we get it. And in fact, he says, Christian joy safeguards our faith. Now just what is it that our faith needs to be safeguarded from? Simply this: Trying to achieve salvation—the fountainhead of our joy—through human effort. When we know our salvation was paid in full by the work of Another, how could we not be the most joyful beings on the face of the planet!

“ Rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard to you.

—PHILIPPIANS 3:1

A Simple Prayer for Greater Rejoicing:

God, there is no greater thing than knowing you, and the joy of salvation that comes free of charge to me through your Son, Jesus Christ. You’re my all, you’re the best, you’re my joy, my righteousness, and I love you Lord! So I pray on this day, give me an ever-increasing capacity to rejoice in you.
