What happens to your joy when life doesn’t go according to plan? In Habakkuk 3:17–18, the prophet describes a season where the crops fail, the fields are empty, and everything around him seems to be falling apart, yet he makes a powerful declaration: “I will rejoice in the Lord.” In this message, Pastor Marcus Gill reminds us that authentic joy cannot be built on circumstances that constantly change. Lasting joy is built on the truth of God’s Word, strengthened through trusting Him, and protected through gratitude and godly relationships. You may not be able to control what’s happening around you, but when your joy is rooted in God, life can shake you without destroying your foundation. Joy that is built on God doesn’t fall apart when life does.
