“Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.” Psalm 33:20-21 (ESV)
Our God is surely a great source of joy. The psalmist wrote that in Him our hearts rejoice. So our faith in God is not just a mental, intellectual attitude. It affects our inner being. It becomes a protective shield against the evil enemy seeking to destroy our lives. With His help our hearts are filled with joy and gladness. Actually that is how the psalmist describes what happens when we put our faith in God. He says that trusting in the Lord is what produces the joy in our lives. Yes, we can trust the Lord for whatever we are facing today. As we learn to depend on Him to take care of your needs, to be for us a help and a shield against the attacks, we realize what a great and Holy God He is, the result will be joy. His joy will fill our heart.
