A Bright Spot, Even On A Cloudy Day
September 15, 2025
KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:
John 15:11
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:
Wouldn’t it be grand to live our entire life with happiness and no sorrow? Don’t we just want every day to be a day at the zoo, a vacation to an amusement park, or a time on the beach? Life would seem so wonderful if we had no unhappy days. However, if we never had an unhappy day, then how would we know when we were having so much fun?
In our verse today, Jesus told his disciples, I shared my heart with you because I want you to know, you bring me joy. Jesus also wanted this day to bring them joy when they would think of Him. He was telling them that in the future, if you have a rough day and things are not going right, maybe you will remember me, and I can bring you joy.
The type of joy Jesus spoke of here is a joy we find in one another. It is about relationships. Even during a terrible day when everything seems to go wrong, I so much look forward to being with my wife. Just to talk with her and enjoy each other’s company. It truly brings joy to my heart just being around her.
Jesus found great joy in being with His disciples and doing His Father’s will. The reason the Bible teaches about this way of life is that God knew it would bring lasting joy to those who would just follow His leading. Jesus commands the disciples to be obedient to the words He has spoken to them. Why, because He knew it would bring them joy. Real joy. Everlasting joy
CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:
Would you like your day to go a little better? Then think about this: Jesus came and died for your sin so you could have eternal life and joy. No matter how hard today may seem, it is just a speck in time compared to eternity with Him. Think about Jesus, He can bring you joy.
Will your day today be filled with joy in Jesus?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself what MY THOUGHTS are concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?
Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?
What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
