Rejoice in the Lord

"Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation". ( Hab 3:18)
Prophet Habakkuk rejoice in the Lord although he knew that the Babylonians are coming soon to capture the kingdom of Judah. Soon he will become either a prisoner of war or be killed by the enemy. Despite of all these uncertainty, he choose to rejoice in the Lord. All he asked was that our Lord be his strength.
I was reminder by the Lord to Praise HIM and to rejoice in HIM when i told HIM that i have a thorn in my flesh last night. And Praise the Lord, HE has taken it away this morning :)
Many a times, we tks HIM, rejoice in HIM or even praise HIM ONLY after the whole incident are over.
May we learn we rejoice in the Lord even in our infirmity or even when things seem to be of no favour to us and is about to come upon us. All we ask is that our Lord be our Strength to bring us through those suffering :) Be blessed !
