God is our source of joy. Joy as defined in the dictionary refers to the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying. God is greater than exceptionally good and His grace is abounding in abundance going beyond satisfying, it is immeasurable. If happiness is relevant to a certain event only, joy transcends any event or time, because we can draw it from God. Even in the midst of troubles we can still have joy, our thoroughgoing hope in God will help us through. We may be fraught by circumstances but still joy can fill our hearts because God is with us, for -“the joy of the LORD is your (our) strength" -Nehemiah 8:10 and ” whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.” Proverbs 29:25
