In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave shares a comforting word for those walking through pain and disappointment. Drawing from Paul’s call to “rejoice in the Lord always”—written from a prison cell—Dave reminds us that faith doesn’t remove sorrow; it sustains us through it. Pain isn’t proof of weak faith but of real life in a broken world, and even in the darkest moments, the Holy Spirit offers a joy that no circumstance can steal.

This episode reveals the difference between happiness and joy—happiness depends on what happens to you, but joy flows from who lives within you. Joy isn’t forced; it’s a fruit of the Spirit that rises when we invite the Holy Spirit into our pain. When His presence fills our hearts, mourning turns to worship, grief to communion, and heaviness to praise.

If you’ve lost your smile or strength, let this message remind you: the Comforter is near, and His joy is still alive in you.
