Habakkuk 3:18 King James Version – Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Joy/Rejoicing is a very key element in the life of the believer or the redeemed of the Lord. Joy/rejoicing is not and should not be an option to our Christian faith but rather a prerequisite or a standard for the believer, you might ask, why? Well, that is the instructions given us from the scriptures and it helps us draw from the walls of salvation – Isaiah 12:3.
Reading from verse 17 of our Scripture Study, it was talking about how troublesome or unyielding the farm lands has been, but the Prophet has no option in verse 18 in our opening verse to rejoice.
Rejoicing is a spiritual tool for the believer that connects us to our God and it is also a fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. The Person of our salvation is Christ Jesus, because the Bible says He has become our salvation and with joy we draw out of the wells of salvation. This means, with joy we receive or draw from the wells of Christ Jesus. Therefore never allow anything under this sun, steal your joy from you.
Guard your joy with all diligence because when it departs from your heart, God’s elect, you might be doomed, “might”, because Grace and Mercy is still available. What is Joy then? Joy or Rejoicing is when a person is confident in God that nothing shakes or waivers him or her any longer, which makes him fulfilled in the heart even if it seems things are not going well with him or her.
Declaration
In the Name of Jesus, I am joyful at all times, amen!
