Daily Devotions

Day 1: Defiant Joy in Difficult Times

Scripture Reading: Philippians 1:19-21

Devotional:

The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Philippians while he was in prison. Despite his chains, he spoke of joy. How could someone be happy in such a dark place? The key is in what we call "defiant nevertheless joy." This means that even when things look bad, we can still find joy because our happiness is not based on our situation but on our relationship with Jesus. Paul shows us that joy is a choice, and it's rooted in our faith.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What are some difficult situations you face that try to steal your joy?
  2. How can you choose to have a "nevertheless" attitude about these situations?
