Creative glory is the inspirational flow of the Holy Spirit that shines God’s life, hope, joy, provision, and wisdom into any situation you may be facing. Best-selling author Joshua Mills explains that when you are in an atmosphere of creative glory, it becomes easy to think new thoughts and receive fresh ideas because you are in the atmosphere of the Creator’s heart and mind. Wherever you allow creative glory to flow, as you embrace the realm of divine expression, you will supernaturally flourish.
As long as you are carried by creative glory, you always have hope. You can find the right solution to any difficulty or need. You can experience selfdiscovery and awakening, enabling you to create, invent, and explore new possibilities. The flow of creative glory will lead you in a process of deep growth as you learn to see circumstances and problems in a new light to fulfill the present and future that God desires for you and the world around you.
Gina consistently helps me look at the world, and think through the situations I encounter, through the lens of the gospel. I listen to her because I know this commitment of hers to the Word of God is hard-worn. Her guidance comes from her own experience of having to fight for biblical joy when the world presses in. You’ll find that kind of attitude, along with a friend who truly desires to serve you, inside Everyday Prayers for Joy. — Brooke McGlothlin Author and cofounder, Million Praying Moms
What is joy? We can receive fleeting moments of it when we watch sunlight break through the clouds, or see a little child laugh as he blows apart the fluff of a spent dandelion. But there is only one source of true, lasting joy—and that’s our Savior, Jesus.
During a season of unknowns, God opened His Word to author Gina L. Smith and taught her His definition of joy so that she could experience it deep in her heart. He helped her realize that she had been finding joy in His blessings, rather than in Him, the source of those blessings. And she learned how to “count it all joy” (James 1:2) come what may.
Everyday Prayers for Joy is a thirty-day journey through God’s Word that will help you discover the joy that God wants to share with you. He is with you always and can work out all things for good. Fill yourself to overflowing with God’s joy!
