Luke 21:28
When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

Jesus did His best to prepare His followers for what would happen before His return—and honestly, it wasn’t pretty. He spoke of wars, earthquakes, and persecution spreading like wildfire. But all of it would point to one final conclusion: Jesus coming back. And His message to them—and to you—is simple: no matter how dark the world may seem, your redemption is near.

Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The picture painted here is bleak. There is nothing to rejoice in and yet the prophet chooses to do just that…rejoice. And it’s because he’s anchored his heart to someone greater. When that happens, you don’t rejoice because of your circumstances, but despite your circumstances. Because circumstances change daily, but God never changes. And that’s something to rejoice in!

Psalm 94:19
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

God knows in this life you will feel many things like: anxiety, anger, and disappointment. The important thing to remember is this: trying to carry it on your own won’t fix the problem. To do that, you have to hand it over to the only One who can change your anxiety to joy!

Proverbs 15:23
A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—and how good is a timely word!

Have you ever had someone tell you something encouraging just at the right time? You were sad, discouraged, ready to throw in the towel and someone walked up and spoke a word that completely flipped your perspective. Well, the amazing thing is, it usually doesn’t just lift you up, it encourages them too! It’s that reminder you both need that God is in the little things as well as the BIG!

Romans 12:15
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

It’s not about doing, it’s about being. Being with someone when they’re rejoicing over their new job, even if you were up for the same position. Being with them in their grief, even if you can’t fix what’s broken. Because at the end of the day, life isn’t about saying all the right words at the right time, it’s about making sure people know they matter.

3 John 1:4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

The apostle John felt incredible joy when he heard that those he had discipled were walking faithfully with the LORD. And it’s a feeling every parent, mentor, or leader can relate to—the joy that comes when those you love are truly trusting in God. It’s an investment of time, patience, and a lot of prayer that’s always well worth it.
