Spiritual stability is the burden of most, if not all, the writers of the New Testament; they plead with us to stand firm, hold fast, and contend for the faith. In 1 Thessalonians 3:8, Paul explains, “For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.” When God’s people have the joy of the Lord, they stand firm in faith—they live abundantly, tasting even today the promises of heaven. Likewise, if we want to live in spiritual stability, we must take care to maintain our joy. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef draws out four ways to maintain joy from Paul’s letter to the Philippian church.

The enemies of Christ would like us to believe that obedience is too great a burden. But nothing could be further from the Truth. Rather, it is sin that burdens. Sin eclipses joy and divides our hearts, homes, and churches. But when we acknowledge, confess, and reject sin, when we repent and submit to the easy yoke of Jesus (see Matthew 11:28-30), our joy is restored. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals that it is sin that enslaves.

Do you live as though God has written your name in the Book of Life with a pencil? One day, you’re in, but the next you blow it, and your name is erased?

No one can snatch you from His hand. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef shows how salvation and joy are interconnected.
