The Greatest Joy

Scripture:

“Though you have not seen Him, you love Him… you are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.” 1 Peter 1:8

Devotional:

The greatest joy we have is not found in circumstances going our way, but in our salvation through Jesus. Knowing we are forgiven, redeemed, and deeply loved changes everything. That truth brings a joy that cannot be taken away.

This joy may be quiet, steady, and deeply rooted—but it is powerful. Advent reminds us that Jesus didn’t just come to improve our lives. He came to save us.

Reflection Questions:

1. When was the last time I reflected on my salvation with gratitude?

2. How does knowing my future is secure in Christ bring peace today?

3. What distractions have pulled my focus away from this truth?

Prayer:

God, thank You for saving me. Thank You that my joy is rooted in what You have already done, not in what I can do. Renew my gratitude today. Amen.

Action Step:

Write one sentence thanking God for your salvation and keep it visible today.
