JOY

   Joy often times is thought to be an emotional expression, but in reality it is the very substance which is the reason for such expressions. Sometimes the reason for joyful worship and praise may be visible, and at other times no clear reason, all to show that true joy is not subject to temporal things! Let us look into the conditions that surrounded the prophet in this passage of scripture. "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:".In these lines there is no natural reason for rejoicing, but yet the prophet declares "yet i will rejoice in the lord".No figs, no wine, no oil to cook with and nothing to cook. No meat from the field nor the stall, where then is this joy from. "i will joy in the god of my salvation."In God we can truly rejoice in the midst of tribulation, because "the lord god is my strength", He also is our joy, our substance, our hope. Lord when everything is going right or wrong, let us look unto you and rejoice in the God of our salvation!
