Following God leads you on a journey of joy you can experience no other way.  Even amid difficulty, you will find unexpected pleasures that you could find no other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, young men with hearts dedicated to the Lord, suffered in the fire because they refused to worship King Nebuchadnezzar, Jesus walked with them in the flames.  As the ruler watched from afar, he saw four men dancing in the fire, footloose and fancy free.  Read the full story in Daniel 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

John 16:33<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christ told us we will have troubles in this world, but we can take heart, because He overcame them for us.  As a result, we can walk the path of righteousness with Jesus and live a joy-filled life because of the Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put your worries in God\u2019s hands, pour out your heart to Him, and allow His Spirit to refuel it with divine joy and the peace that surpasses all understanding.  In Christ, you find abundant life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
