The joy of the Lord is our strength

Dr. Roberto Miranda

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: Paul teaches that in addition to patience and long-suffering, Christians should also cultivate joy and gratitude. The Christian life is not just about enduring afflictions but celebrating the blessings of God. Joy attracts joy and gratitude attracts more reasons to be grateful. Christians who are diligent in using language of gratitude and joy will receive more blessings from God. The joy of the Lord is our strength and it is important to remember that God calls us to rejoice, even in the midst of trials. We have many reasons to be joyful, including our secure life in the Lord, the promise of victory over Satan, access to the power of God, and the blessings God has promised us on Earth and in eternity. Let us cultivate joy and gratitude in our lives.

In the world there are absolutely afflictions, there are difficulties and we have to learn to cope with that dimension of life that is part of the sufferings, the difficulties. But the wonderful thing is that Paul does not stop there. He not only talks about the importance of patience, long-suffering, being suffered in the midst of the afflictions that will undoubtedly come and the problems and setbacks but that He also speaks, says that: "With joy giving thanks to the Father." (Colossians 1:11)

That is such an important quality that we have to cultivate brothers, joy. It is not only patience, long-suffering, being long-suffering, enduring, but also the Christian life is a life of joy. The Apostle Paul in the Epistle to the Philippians tells us about rejoicing and I think we have spoken in previous meditations about the importance of joy.
