Habakkuk 3:17-19; 1 Peter 1:8-9
Whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy in
expressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith the salvation of your souls (1 Peter 1:8-9).

Friend, it is time to rejoice as you see the work of God in your life. It is time to release joy even when your situation appears contrary to your expectation. God is at work. Engage in unspeakable joy and celebration so that when the enemy sees you, he will be confused.

Today, let us utilize the force of joy as a weapon of war as we face life challenges; see the afflictions of our neighbors and friends; and the destruction in our surroundings. We will rejoice because we know it will end well (Revelation 21:4). Regarding our life challenges and afflictions, we rejoice with unspeakable joy because we know we will be restored. The prophet writes” I will rejoice”. Why? Because He knows something we do not know. He said,

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills.
Habakkuk 3:18- 19.

He knew that God would change His situation. Can we praise and rejoice with faith as we walk our way out of our struggles? Remember, everyday can be a day of celebration and praise, if we focus on the right thing. May the Lord give you a reason to rejoice. May you see a reason to rejoice with unspeakable joy in Jesus Name. Shalom.
