Joy comes in unexpected places

“Finding Joy” sounds like the title from the last twenty self-help books you’ve seen, and possibly read. It’s overused and misunderstood. Biblically, it’s the sweet spot we all long to find in our walk with God. Sometimes it’s really hard! Can you find joy in many areas of your life? I think you can. Here are some unexpected, and sometimes challenging ways to find joy.

Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you my be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

James 1:2-4 (ESV)
