We often wait for the big moments — the promotion, the vacation, the milestone — to feel joyful. But real joy is often hiding in plain sight: a warm cup of coffee, a child's laugh, an unexpected kindness.
The joy of the Lord is not dependent on your circumstances lining up perfectly. It is a strength available to you right now, in this ordinary Tuesday, in this waiting room, in this unfinished season.
Look around today for one small thing to be joyful about. Let it remind you that gladness is always within reach when your eyes are open to it.
