If you have no joy in your religion, there's a leak in your Christianity somewhere. -Sunday
Habakkuk 3:17-18, Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
All throughout the Bible we have instances where God’s people were in some pretty bad predicaments. They faced giants, fiery furnaces, lions, depression, sickness, and much more. Yet, in these very peculiar places we find them in, we also find them praising God! How in the world did they do it? They did it knowing who the God of their circumstances was! They chose to rejoice instead of being ruined by their situation!
How will you finish out the week; praising God or complaining the weekend away?
