LORD Jesus, I confess that my joy in You cannot be stolen unless I allow it. Today, help me keep my gaze fixed on You, the One who Authored and Perfected my faith. My happiness may depend on external circumstances, but my Joy is in You alone.
Help me be mindful all day the joy set before You, did not dissuade You from enduring the cross and now sit at the right hand of God's throne. Let this thought strengthen me to run with perseverance until You call me home, for Jesus' sake, I pray. Amen.
Verse for Today: "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2)
