"Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!" Psalm 118:15
Do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior? Then victory is yours! You can rejoice with great joy because not only have you gained salvation and eternal life, but victory throughout your life because God is now in the battle with you. You and God will rejoice together in victory.
Are times tough? Are you going through some trials in your life? Habakkuk talks about how even though he has nothing and everything looks bleak, he will rejoice.
"yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights."
Habakkuk 3:18-19
Life can be a hard road to travel, but God is with us and we can rejoice because He gives us strength when we are weak. And God gives us the stable and firm footing of His Word whether that road is an easy grassy one or a rocky dangerous trail. We can rejoice in troubled times because that is when we will see God working in our lives.
The key to obtaining the Joy of the LORD is found in trusting Him.
"The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; All the upright in heart will glory in Him!" Psalm 64:10
The righteous, those who have trusted in God for their salvation, take refuge in Him! We are to depend upon Jesus Christ to provide all that we need; from salvation to blessings of clothes, a job, food, a home, and every little or big need we find. Take joy for we are under His care
Joy is found by resting in the arms of Jesus.
