The Lord takes pleasure in the joy of His people. The Bible says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life” (Prov. 13:12). In the midst of the sorrow and pain in this present world, many people’s hearts are becoming sick. World events are sources of great pain and sorrow: Russian’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, insecurity, hunger, natural disasters, and family disharmony are raging problems in the world. As a result of all these, many ask this question in their hearts: Can l still rejoice in the midst of this volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world? As the Lord visited Mary and Elizabeth and brought restoration to them, so shall the Lord visit you. Only trust and obey. The night season shall come to an end, and your morning shall come. As the Spirit of God came upon Mary and she began to sing, so shall the Spirit come upon you and your song shall be: My soul does magnify the Lord.

My equipping has motivated me to go all out for God!
