Habakkuk 3:18 (NIV)
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Christians are supposed to be happy persons! Our generation
has become well versed in Christian terminology, but is remiss in the actual
practice of Christ’s principles and teachings. Hence, our greatest need today
is not more Christianity but more true Christians. The world can argue against
Christianity as an institution, but there is no convincing argument against a
person who, through the Spirit of God, has been made Christlike. Such a person
is a living rebuke to the selfishness, rationalism, and materialism of the day.
Jesus said to the woman at Jacob’s well, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that
I shall give him shall never thirst.” This sin-sick, disillusioned woman was
the symbol of the whole race. Her longings were our longings! Her heart-cry was
our heart-cry! Her disillusionment was our disillusionment! Her sin was our
sin! But her Savior can be our Savior! Her forgiveness can be our forgiveness!
Her joy can be our joy!
Thought for today:
Is there joy in my life?
