Peace & the Single Mom: By Jennifer Maggio

Traditionally, in the third week of Advent, we celebrate the “joy” of Christ’s arrival. Over the next week of these devotionals for men, we will examine the emotion of joy in several different biblical contexts. We pray that you will find joy in life's victories, but also in darkness, in times of emptiness, and in any uncertainty or pain, by God's grace. Written by Brad Klassen.

We often struggle to find joy in our everyday lives. Is that how you feel? Maybe you’ve lost it and can’t seem to find it. It is God’s will for His children to live a life of rejoicing, but our duties - and ourselves - might get in the way. In the next five days, we’ll see what the Bible says about joy and how we can live it despite our circumstances.
