We are once again flipping over God’s calendar and moving into the last Biblical month, Adar.
Adar means “Strength,” and in the Bible, strength is associated with joy. So I believe that the Lord is calling us to end the Biblical year strong. However, He is not calling us to be strong through our own striving. He is calling us to be strong in His joy.
Many of us pray for strength but what we really need is joy. So what is joy? Webster’s Dictionary defines joy as an “emotion evoked by well-being, success, or the prospect of possessing what one desires.” It’s the feeling you get when everything is going your way. But what happens when things don’t always go our way?
True joy is not based on our circumstances or emotions, because those things can go up and down. Real joy is based on our relationship with God through Jesus. Without this relationship, we cannot experience true joy.
Take a look at the teaching below as we unpack what it means to have true joy and how we can finish this year strong together! We pray this teaching blesses you and moves you into closer alignment with the Lord.
