Day 254 – Even when the world is causes us to cry, God creates us to Rejoice and fills us with His Joy!
Today’s Reading: Habakkuk 1 – Zephaniah 2
Habakkuk 3:17-19 “Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.”
Sometimes it’s just HARD! Oh, I’m not talking about life, yeah that can be difficult on any given day, I’m talking about rejoicing in the Lord when the going gets tough and having Joy when the tough gets even tougher. And truthfully because I find myself in those moments more often these days, I know what it’s like and I still look to Him.
The Lord always brings me through the HarD, moves me around the ToUgH, and still places me on SOLID ground. He fills my head with Hope for better times, He settles me with His Spirit of Peace and overflows my soul with His Joy. It’s these realities that get me to sleep at night and awake me in the mornings; it’s the promise that I need to get me to tomorrow and lead me all the way into Eternity.
Sometimes my head swims within the constant crashing waves of struggles around me. I’ve had to claim God’s promises even when I can’t always feel them there. I’ve been clinging to the Truth because I know it will set me free even when I can only see a dim light. However, even when I can’t feel…I seek, and even when I can’t see…I know. That’s where my Faith steps in, that’s why I rejoice, and that is where I feel my most Joyful.
