Philippians
Joy. It’s a good word—a happy word. But it’s often confused with the word happiness. Happiness depends on circumstances, like a fun event or good news, and it can feel just out of reach when things go wrong. Joy, however, is different. As promised in the Bible, joy isn’t tied to emotions or situations. It’s rooted in Christ—real, solid, and lasting—so it endures through fear, pain, and challenges, offering hope no matter what life brings.
