Vital signs- Tuesday, April 4th, 2023


Often times we associate joy with happiness. We know that happiness is a feeling based on an event, but joy is a mindset based on Jesus. When everything around us is shaken and counterfeit sources of joy are removed, it reveals misplaced confidence. Jesus is our joy. Although this may be a trying time, we do not have to lose our peace and our joy in this season. We can still praise Jesus. Joy is a choice. It is a determined stance to remain focused on Him. 


1. What are some things you may have been drawing your joy from previously rather than drawing close to Jesus to satisfy? 

2. What is a practical way you can begin to draw your joy from Jesus first?

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬


Team Wade loves you and is praying for you ❤️👊
