With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation- Isaiah 12:2-6


We live in a culture that runs a hundred miles an hour toward finding pleasure and happiness. When at last we"get there" we usually find the party's moved on or it wasnt as satisfying as hoped.

Then we're left with fatigue, disappointment, depression or maybe just try a little harder next time. This Season especially brings up our discontentment as we watch everyone else living the "dream".

This is the Season for rejoicing but how can we do that if were not happy?
We cant.
Happiness is dependent on our circumstances, our mood and emotions.
Rejoicing isnt a mood but an action we choose.

How wonderful that there is a well that never runs out of the power to give us joy. Night and day, in good or bad moments, when happy or depressed the well of JOY is always overflowing for us to draw from.
