The Daily is Our Resource for Studying God’s Word
This Advent season will probably be like the ones in the past. The days will have more darkness than light, and the weather will be colder than warm. It will take place in a world that is broken. But it will be a reminder of how God loved us so much that He sent His only Son to be our salvation.

Today's passage echoes Paul's charge from Wednesday's passage. At just two words in most translations, this is one of the shortest verses of the Bible. This brings to mind the shortest verse in the Bible (John 11.35, “Jesus wept”). Jesus was no stranger to sorrow and grief (Isaiah 53.3), nor has he called us to become unfeeling ourselves. But Paul's command, multiple times, is to rejoice, and to do so always—this bears weight, as well.
