Rejoice Always | Daily Devotional 1646

October 26, 2026 · 6 min

Show notes

Have you ever allowed a difficult circumstance to steal your joy and leave you feeling discouraged?

In today's episode, Gaby Alessi Calatayud takes us into Philippians 4:4–5 as we begin the final chapter of our study through Philippians. Paul reminds us to rejoice in the Lord always, not just when life is going according to plan. While our circumstances may change, God's goodness, faithfulness, and presence remain the same.

We'll be challenged to examine what's been controlling our joy lately. Whether it's an unexpected setback, a difficult conversation, financial stress, or a season of uncertainty, we don't have to pretend everything is okay to experience the joy of the Lord. True joy isn't found in what's happening around us, but in knowing who God is and trusting that He remains faithful through every season.

Let's join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to restore our joy, remind us of His unchanging goodness, and help us find reasons to rejoice in Him even when life feels overwhelming.
