“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead,
even though you must endure many trials for a little while.”
-1 Peter 1:6 [NLT]

A Time to Think… “Joy is really a road sign pointing us to God. Once we have found God…we no longer need to trouble ourselves so much about the quest for joy.”
―C.S. Lewis

A Time to Act… Where is your “road sign that points to God?” Take a few moments and think about it. So often we fret to the brink of anxiety about our lives trying to find this or that, not looking for the road-signs God already has for us. Rest in God’s direction and then you can truly cherish your life.

A Time to Pray… O Lord, fill my heart with love and peace. Fill my thoughts with your mercy, grace, and strength. Touch my soul with the hope I have in Christ that, no matter what crosses my path, there will be joy ahead. AMEN.
