The joy of the Lord!! [ October 31, 2024]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

The joy of the Lord!!
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree fails to blossom and no fruit be on the vine……… I will rejoice in you my Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation

“The joy of the Lord” is a special kind of joy that does not depend on our circumstances. When you have the joy of the Lord, you can rejoice even when the “odds” are against you. ( bad times)

Just like the Prophet Habakkuk did in the verse above. He paints a very gloomy picture of his circumstances, his crops bear no fruits and his cattle disappear. He had made a great loss

But he said, he will rejoice in the Lord, the God of his salvation in spite of everything.

For the joy of the Lord is his strength ( Nehemiah 8:10)

The Lord can make a way where there is no way. God can give hope where there is no hope and joy where there is no joy.

Philippians 4:4-5

Rejoice in the Lord, again I say rejoice, let all men know your forbearance

This verse from the new testament encourages us to rejoice always. Let everyone know that the Lord can turn hopeless situations into success stories.

Surrender your life to the Lord by accepting the gift of salvation ( Romans 10:9-10). You will be blessed abundantly
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?

1. Trust in God and do what is right

Song for meditation

Let this song be your confession and prayer

Rejoice and sing
The Lord is King
Rejoice and sing
The Lord is King

Coda
He died, He rose again
He’s lifted up on high
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!!!

French version of coda

Il a mort
Il vit encore
Il est leve au dessous tous les choses
Rejouir, rejouir, rejouir!!
