"This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased," the Father said of Jesus in Matthew 3:17. God is infinitely, inexhaustively glad in his Son. But what does this mean for us? In this five-day devotional, John Piper examines how the Bible speaks of God's joy in Jesus and how it impacts our everyday.

God's Joy in Jesus: Devotions with John Piper

Think of Psalms like a concert: you experience power ballads, storytelling, heartfelt laments, joyful anthems to sing along to, and deeply personal prayers. It’s a collection that captures the full range of human emotion and humanity's relationship with God. As you begin this 30-day journey through the Psalms, we encourage you to read slowly, pray deeply, and worship as you go. Let the words stir things up and guide your heart to connect more deeply with God.
