Have you noticed how easy it is to lose your joy? It can be over the smallest things too. Like when your friends forget to invite you to go along with them somewhere. Or maybe it’s just that your mom keeps giving you chores to do, and you want more than anything to just relax and enjoy the rest of your summer.
In the midst of all these types of things, keeping your joy can seem really hard. That’s where today’s verse comes in.
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. – Psalm 33:21 (NLT)
See even if our external circumstances aren’t always going the way we want, and things don’t always seem to be going the way we’d plan, we can go ahead and put our trust in God. God knows us, loves us, and is always looking out for us. Regardless of external circumstances, joy can be found when we place our trust in God and His love for us.
