Day 4: Joy in God's Presence
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." In a world of constant change, uncertainty, and chaos, this truth anchors our souls. Everything around us shifts. Relationships evolve, circumstances fluctuate, seasons change, but Jesus remains constant. He was faithful to those who came before us, and He'll be faithful to us and those who come after. This isn't just theological truth; it's deeply personal. The same Jesus who saved you is with you right now, in this very moment. He hasn't stepped back or taken a break. His Spirit dwells within you, empowering you, guiding you, comforting you. Today, pause and acknowledge His presence. In your work, your home, your struggles, He is there. Let this reality fill you with joy that transcends your circumstances.
