The apostle Paul knew one thing about how to cultivate joy that we so easily miss today. In his last meeting with the elders from Ephesus, Paul charges them to watch over and serve the church (Acts 20:28). He also reminded them of Jesus’ teaching, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). Finally, he knelt down with all of them and prayed (Acts 20:36).
Ultimately, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, what Paul knew is that we claim joy through humility—thinking less about ourselves and more about others. We can practice humility and cultivate joy by reorienting and prioritizing our lives in the following way:
Jesus (first)
Others (second)
Yourself (last)
