Scripture

With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation.

Observation

This chapter is a song about salvation.

I will praise you God because you have lifted your anger from me and replaced it was comfort. We can trust the God who saves us and not be afraid.

With joy we drink deeply from the fountain of salvation. The Lord has done wonderful things. Great is the Holy One of Israel.

Application

One of the most observable features of Christians is their joy. When I move between christian and non-christian environments, this move from joy to fear/anxiety /depression often strikes me.

My wife comes from a big extended family, many of whom are Christians. Whenever they get together, it is like a happy reunion of old friends. Even at funerals, the joy and laughter are evident.

How can we drink deeply from the fountain of salvation?

I think the key is that we maintain the spirit of thanksgiving, the attitude of gratitude.

I regularly thank the Father for adopting me into His family and Jesus for paying the price of my salvation. I praise the Holy Spirit who is the deposit or seal of my salvation.

Read the scriptures daily and immerse yourself in the spiritual realities that lie behind the veil of the physical realm. We are in a spiritual battle, but God has the victory!

Keep coming back to the Lord. He is The fountain of salvation and the source of all joy.

Prayer

Hallelujah! What a saviour! Thank you Lord for saving me and keeping me safe in the palm of your hand. Amen.
