Bible Study: The Meaning of Joy....

Habakkuk 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The meaning of joy can be found in this particular verse of scripture. How does one find joy today? This prayer was written over 3,000 years ago. How does it apply now? These are the questions from which we may learn from the word of God.

The key word in the passage is joy. Presently the world is in an economic recession. Jobs, housing and the cost of food is all harder to obtain. Families are so stressed to make ends meet. These are joyless days. We need joy.

Overall, the three lessons in our scriptures: 1. Trust, we must always trust in God. 2. Confidence is always placed in the Power of God. 3. Spiritual Joy in God is in Christ Jesus. Finally, rejoice in knowing that the Lord of our salvation and having faith in Christ Jesus. All of our joy is in the Lord. Jesus Christ is the joy of our salvation. This is the meaning of all joy.
