"Longing For Joy" Habakkuk 3:17-19


Today in Worship – This morning we remain in the season of Advent.  Advent calls the church and her people into a season of waiting with the purpose of developing within us an acute recognition of God’s purposes and work in this world, specifically sending His Son, Jesus Christ into the world, the Incarnate Word made flesh.  But we also look forward to what is to come, the return of Christ, the renewal of all things.  This morning we focus on Joy, as we look at Habakkuk 3:17-19.  Joy is not simply an emotion, but an inner, settled, confident rest in God that doesn’t allow circumstances to rob or increase my experience of it.  Joy is praising God in all of life, regardless of circumstance, regardless of situation, regardless.
