Life is a journey, isn’t it? On the short journey to Emmaus Jesus listens to the disciples, He teaches them and then He reveals Himself (⁠Luke 24:1-12⁠). Let Jesus join your journey and He will do the same. Let confusion become clarity, despair turn to joy, and watch fear dissipate and be replaced by mission (⁠John 16:16-22⁠). Jesus will meet us on our road and give us meaning. Let Him lead.

In his humble poem (⁠Psalm 27⁠), from experience David states, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let our heart take courage; wait for the Lord.” He wanted to honor God and build a temple, but God said no, that will be the task of his son (⁠1 Chronicles 17:16-27⁠). Still, the prophecy of David’s offspring in God’s eternal kingdom did not come to pass (⁠2 Samuel 7:28-29⁠). But God’s words are identical with His actions – it will come to pass. The King, the fulfillment of the David covenant is fulfilled in Jesus Christ (⁠Luke 1:26-33⁠). What a joyous event! Yet, we still wait. The King has come and eternal Kingdom has started, but we are still in a time of transformation. In this time, with a surrendered heart like David has taught us, we get to enjoy Him now and forever (⁠2 Corinthians 3:18⁠).

In John 15, Jesus promised His disciples a "fullness of joy." Is there a difference between "happiness" and the "joy" that Jesus promised?
