Read Acts 13-15
Acts 13:52 says, "And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost." Despite everything that happened to them, despite the fact that so many didn’t believe them, despite the fact that the leaders rose against them, the disciples had joy. They had to shake the dust off their feet against the city where they were preaching when they left because the people rejected them, but they were still filled with the Holy Spirit.
They didn’t let their circumstances dictate how they felt. They didn’t let public opinion determine their outlook. They maintained their joy.
We can look beyond our circumstances and not let things around us get us down. We can maintain our joy because of the Holy Spirit and keep our eyes and our trust in God no matter what’s going on around us.
