'And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation'
(Psalm 35:9).
We have reasons to be joyful in the Lord, not because of our own skills, but in what he has done to save us. As David ascribed all honour to Jehovah, disregarding those who want to do him harm, found unspeakable joy in the Lord; so we must learn to turn away from our enemies or the things that hinders our salvation to our God, rejoicing in his salvation. He is the mighty and Sovereign God who alone can saved us, and keep what he has committed to us, and to preserve us from falling. So why not be joyful and rejoice in His salvation? We have so much to rejoice in the Lord, that will fill us with much joy, as Christ our wonderful Saviour has atoned for our sins with his precious blood. He has made it possible for us to have eternal life and has laid a firm foundation for our faith and the hope of eternal glory and happiness. We do not have to fight our own battles, Christ is always willing to act on our behalf when we surrender everything to Him. We ought to be ever grateful to God for His saving grace, expressed in the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ. Our joy in God and in His salvation is the only true and satisfying joy we will ever experience. Joy in anything apart from God is not true joy. So let us rejoice always in His salvation and enjoy the hope of eternity with him, when he returns.
Have a wonderful day

Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
