Post 31: The Fountain of Joy

Magnify your stewardships to access God’s power and the joy of the River of Christ. Connect your life to this eternal flow and inspire others to join His work.

Introduction: Discovering Joy through Divine Focus

What if joy isn’t something you chase—but something already placed in your hands?

The six stewardships God has given you are not mere responsibilities; they are the channels through which joy flows and divine power is unlocked. Yet distractions blur our focus, leaving us wandering and thirsty for lasting happiness. Joy is closer than you think. It flows when you magnify what God has already entrusted to you.

Pain Point: A Misplaced Focus

Many struggle to find joy because they search in the wrong places—fleeting pleasures, worldly pursuits, or diversions that pull the heart away from what matters most.

The result is frustration, emptiness, or spiritual drought.

Without a clear focus on God’s priorities, the soul becomes parched, wandering through deserts of unfulfilled desires.

Principle: Joy Amidst Struggle through Divine Stewardship

Your six stewardships—
• your relationships
• your talents
• your covenant growth
• your work in the Lord’s vineyard
• your service to others
• your contributions to His kingdom

—are streams of living water.

When magnified, they converge into the River of Christ, empowering your small efforts to become something eternal.

A small stream bends and twists to avoid obstacles.
A mighty river carves straight through them.

Likewise, when your stewardships feed into Christ’s River, your life aligns with divine purpose. Your talents are no longer isolated—they magnify and flow toward God’s glory.

This is not about willpower or personal strength.
It is about yielding to His strength.

Magnifying your stewardships connects you to Christ’s power, enabling you to accomplish greater works—miracles that heal, lift, and transform.

As you flow in this greater River, your influence becomes a beacon. Your rising tide invites others to rise with you, linking their streams to Christ’s power and building Zion together.

Invitation: Step into the River

Today, choose one stewardship to magnify.

• Express love more intentionally.
• Nurture a child or a relationship.
• Hone a God-given talent.
• Serve someone quietly and faithfully.

Then invite Christ into that effort.
Let your small stream join His mighty River.

Your example will naturally inspire others to do the same.

Blessing: Joy that Sustains and Transforms

As you magnify your stewardships, joy will begin to flow—even in struggle.

Christ’s River will transform your efforts into eternal contributions.
Your life will become anchored in the Fountain of Living Water, firm and steadfast, ready to receive every good thing.

Your stewardships will not only sustain you but will overflow to bless those around you, becoming a source of strength, hope, and divine joy.
