It’s found in contentment.  If you’ve ever met a truly content person you know how refreshing it is. They have a joy and a peace that others don’t possess. Their circumstances don’t determine their joy. This is how Christians are supposed to live. Our hope and trust is in God not what we have or don’t have or what’s happening around us.

Today's Reading:Acts 15:1-35https://www.bible.com/bible/116/ACT.15.NLTPhilippians 3:1-14https://www.bible.com/bible/116/PHP.3.NLTToday’s reading is a reminder that joy comes the more we place our confidence in Jesus and the cross. The more faith I put in myself the less joy I feel. If I believe God’s love depends on my behavior I will either feel shame or arrogance, but never joy. Joy comes the more I think about how much I need Jesus.Links in this episode:Share this link with a friendhttps://dailyfaith.life/philippians

It's a counter-cultural message: Joy is not found in selfishness. From the time we’re kids we believe if we could ever have everything we want or have life go the way we want we would truly be happy, but Paul says the opposite.Links In This Episode:Share this link with a friendhttps://dailyfaith.life/philippians
