Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Isaiah 12:3
I must not look to circumstance to find my joy! This verse right here gives me a beautiful picture. There is a well with the name Salvation on it. If I draw from this well, then I will draw with joy. It reminds me that I am looking to my salvation to find my joy. It reminds me that I am looking to salvation for my identity, my peace, my hope, my life, and my joy. I am not drawing water from the the wells of money, pride, relationships, or acceptance! If I draw from these wells, I will not have lasting joy. God, help me to look to You and what you have done to find my joy!
