“Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will joy in the God of
my salvation. The Lord is my strength.” (Habakkuk 3:18–19a)
The prophet Habakkuk said no matter what happened in life, he
would rejoice in the Lord and be joyful in the God of his salvation, who was his
strength. Words such as these are easier said than done. Only with a determination
to serve and please our Creator, relying on His power, can we achieve such
devotion to our Maker and great Most High God.
Though the Thanksgiving holiday ends, our giving of thanks
does not—it should not. We have much for which to be grateful, and recollection
is essential year-round. Can we, like the prophet Jeremiah, have hope in what we
recall about the Lord? Can we, too, rejoice in the Lord and be joyful in the
God of our salvation, no matter our circumstances? We are here today by grace—His
unfailing compassion and mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:21–24).
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness. As our focus shifts to
the birth of Christ, let’s continue expressing gratitude to our Father. His compassion,
mercy, and love are great and endless.
