The Bible says that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s plan for our salvation has always been through the blood of the Lamb.

At the cross, Jesus became our Passover Lamb. His blood covers us, cleanses us, and gives us peace with God.

Revelation shows a multitude clothed in white—washed in the blood of the Lamb.

This is our reality. His blood takes what was stained and makes it pure.

We are forgiven. We are free. We are welcomed into the family of God.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Over the last decade, many studies have been conducted to better understand the effects of gratitude on the brain. Research has shown that gratitude is measurable in the brain, not just subjective. Studies also indicate that practicing gratitude leads to lasting brain changes, not just temporary mood shifts. It can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and contribute to healthier brain function over time.

It’s no wonder the Word of God instructs us in Philippians 4:8–9: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”

When life gets stressful, the last thing most people want to do is choose gratitude or fix their thoughts on what is true, honorable, and good. More often, the natural response is to complain. Yet, what problem has complaining ever truly solved? More often than not, it only leads to increased sadness, stress, and anxiety. In contrast, we are given a promise: when we fix our minds on these things, the peace of God will be with us.

In John 4, we see Jesus approach the Samaritan woman at the well. He asks her for a drink of water - something shocking for that time, as Jews did not associate with Samaritans. Then He speaks of the “living water”:

“Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus discloses her past and then reveals that He is the Messiah that she has been waiting for. The Samaritan woman leaves her water pot behind and runs back to the city, proclaiming: “Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?”
‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Because of her testimony, many responded:

“And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word; and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭39‬-‭42‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The people first believed because of the woman’s word, and many more believed once they had a personal encounter with Jesus - “for we ourselves have heard him”.

Your testimony may be the gateway for someone to experience the voice of God. Who in your life needs to hear what God has done for you? You’ve tasted and seen the goodness of God, now go and share it.

One way we lose our joy is through disobedience. We begin to walk in sin, and it leads to shame, doubt, and anxiety instead of the fruit of the Spirit.

But we have help. Romans 8:26 says the Spirit helps us in our weakness. Ezekiel 36:27 reminds us that God puts His Spirit in us to move us to follow His ways.

We need to ask the Lord:
Is there any place where my heart is divided?

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36‬:‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Romans 4:18 tells us that “in hope he believed against hope.” What does that mean? Hope is “an expectation for good.” To believe against hope means to continue trusting God—His character, His Word, His promises—even when there is no logical reason to expect anything good.

That is what Abraham did, and miraculously Sarah gave birth to their promised son, Isaac.

One part of getting your joy back is refusing to succumb to hopelessness. In the fire and pressure, lean into hope.

In hope, believe against hope. You serve the God of the impossible.

When we think about it, holiness and joy don’t always seem to go together. But this holy moment is the very one we have lived for. The fact that we are there, in Heaven, worshiping our Savior, means we overcame here on earth. He is right there in front of us—our Creator, the Lover of our soul, our Savior. Every earthly worry and burden will be gone. We will have access to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in the most holy place. It will be beyond anything we could imagine.

But we do not have to wait until that day to access Jesus or worship Him as the One who is worthy of all praise. Because Jesus came and died as the worthy Lamb, He gave us access to this holy experience now.

So often, we take this for granted. We search for joy and peace in other places when they can only be found in His presence. We become overwhelmed by the day-to-day monotony of life and forget who we were made to worship. Without realizing it, we begin to worship our opinions, our problems, our idols, and our culture.

Today, refocus your eyes and heart on Jesus. Do not look around at the momentary problems of life that try to overwhelm you. Do not be enticed by a culture of opinions pointing to a version of truth that has no power.

Begin to declare: “There is no one like the Lord!”
Join the song of heaven that brings all blessing, honor, glory, and power to Him on the throne.

“saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God is worth the sacrifice, the hardship, and the trials. He is worthy of our praise even when we don’t feel like praising. He is worthy of our adoration even when we don’t feel like adoring. He is worthy to be chosen in every season.

The hardest seasons to praise His name are the ones filled with turmoil. When the fig tree doesn’t blossom and no fruit is on the vine… when your labor feels in vain—this is where we must press in with our praise.

Praise Him for your salvation.
Praise Him for what He’s done.
Praise Him for who He is.

Do not let the enemy steal your joyful praise, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds' feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

John the Beloved—the only disciple who stayed with Jesus all the way to the cross—through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote both of these scriptures about the love of God. John knew the depth of God’s love firsthand. He experienced how the love of God transformed his life and understood that it would also transform the lives of those who believed in Jesus. When we truly receive the revelation of Christ’s love for us, we can’t help but respond with gratitude, worship, and reverence.

Often, one of the greatest lies the enemy tries to convince God’s people of is that we are unloved and unimportant to our Creator. However, John shows us through these scriptures that the love of God is real and has been clearly demonstrated through Jesus Christ laying down His life for us. Christ’s love was made manifest as He became sin for us so that we could be washed and forgiven.

“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Nehemiah 8:10 tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. This song highlights this amazing truth. And the best part? There is a whole kingdom of darkness that is threatened by that knowledge—threatened by the child of God actually knowing, believing, and walking in the joy of the Lord as their strength!

Truly, the joy of the Lord is our strength. We must not allow that truth to leave us in times of pressure, change, or shock. We find that joy in the presence of the Lord, and that joy is our weapon again and again.

“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭8‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Galatians 5 tells us that Jesus Christ has set us free, but we must be careful to stay free from the things that weigh us down. As Paul writes this book to the church in Galatia, he highlights both freedom from the law and freedom from our sinful nature because we are a new creature in Christ. He notes that being in Christ means we are no longer slaves to a life weighed down by complicated rules. We are free from the weight of perfection and a life centered on and dependent on ourselves. We now have God’s grace covering us and allowing us a personal relationship with God that was not available through the law before Jesus. We can share in the inheritance of freedom and joy that belongs to God’s people!

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bo***ge. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬
