“Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation” Isaiah 12:3
Salvation comes from the Greek word Soteria. It refers to an experience
of total victory over the devil, sin, and the world.
It is preservation
or deliverance from harm, ruin or los. But amazingly, though many have
received salvation, they don’t have this experience in their life as
they walk with God.

Our opening text shows one of the reasons for this.
It likened our salvation to a well, a spring that contains water. Water
nourishes, refreshes, and preserves. Without access to water, all living
things will come to ruin.
In the same manner, if the God-child does not
access the well of his salvation to draw water, he will come to ruin;
and the Access is Joy.
Psalms 16:11 tells “thou wilt shew me the path of
life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand are
pleasures for evermore”
Joy is a peculiarity of the presence of God.
This is how the presence of God in a man’s life is identified “Enter into
His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise…” Psalm
100:4. The MSG rendering says “Enter with the password: “Thank You!”
make yourselves at home, talking praise.” This is the password; Joy.

Joy is a quality of the recreated human spirit. It is not dependent or
determined by feelings or emotions but on the Word of God.
Refuse to let
the dictates of life take your Joy away from you. This is what the
Apostles had that made them sing and dance even in the face of distress,
trials, persecution and tribulation.
Our Lord Jesus told us in John
4:14“but whosoever takes a drink of the water that I give him (that is
the water of salvation through joy), shall never thirst again but the
water that I give shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing,
bubbling) within him in his spirit unto (into, for) eternal life” (AMP).
Choose Joy today!
DECLARATION
I have joy so I’m drawing out of the wells of my salvation, and I will never run dry.
