Oh, I know that you probably know some person or persons who just seem to be grouchy all the time and never have a smile on their face. What is it that could bring them joy? And, again, what is it that brings you great joy?
When things are going smoothly and we have no reason to worry or be fearful of the situations going on around us then we have good reason to be happy. At least, that is how the world usually looks at it. But, according to the Scriptures, there is a path to joy that many of us may not always want to take. Traveling down the path of trials and tribulations is not always the route we want to take but, we will always have those days when things are not going our way.
By the way, the Greek word for joy in verse 2 can also mean calm delight. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.
They were willing to endure and be patient because there were better things waiting for them. The same goes for us. Things will get better if we also will be patient. So while it seems that trials and difficulties want to rob us of joy it is those same unpleasant things that can bring us to the place where we need nothing else to make us happy.
Laughing at Satan who is the source of all the troubles we face can be the best way to deal with the adversities in life.
