Drawing from the wells of salvation

I made up my mind years ago, while I was still a student, to always be happy. I found out early from the word that nobody was sent to make me happy, because Jesus already accomplished all that is needed to give me joy unspeakable and full of glory; I’ve got joy in my spirit. So, always be excited about the things of God. Don’t wait for someone to make you happy.
Having received salvation, joy comes from within you – your spirit. The Bible says, “
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation”(Isaiah 12:3).
Happiness is a state of mind, and it is one of the fruits of joy. Then you have other fruits of joy: laughter, shouting, singing, and dancing. And did you know giving is also one of the fruits of joy? When you are full of joy, you give.
Have you ever noticed that when somebody is asking you for something at the moment that you are full of joy, it is almost always a “yes”? You hardly are able to just turn them down or reject something offered or proposed or say “no” to them.
Same way, when we are full of joy in the presence of the Lord, you do not have to ask for anything. All that matters is that there is a desire in your heart. As you express joy, those desires are granted. The Bible says, “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalm 37:4). It is one of those things that praise, and worship make happen for you.
Do not miss the praise and worship services of the church; they are very important. You will find that your lists of prayer requests
will reduce; you would not have to pray about so many things.
