Habakkuk 3:18 "Yet I will
rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!"
God wants us to experience joy as believers—not a fickle
happiness that depends on circumstances or changes with the wind direction, but
a joy that remains in spite of what may be taking place around you.
Anyone can be relatively happy when things are going well.
But when you face adversity or sickness or hardship and then rejoice, you show
that something supernatural has occurred in your life. In fact, you show
yourself to be a faithful Christian. This is a unique trait of believers—that
we can rejoice when things go wrong.
God is still on the throne. You're still going to heaven.
You're still forgiven. God still has a plan for your life; He has not abandoned
you. Recognize that in spite of what you may be going through right now, His
plans for you are still good. And He will never leave or forsake you. And
that's why when things are looking really bad for us, we can say, "Yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in
the God of my salvation!"
