Joy Is the Fruit of Trust
Commentators unanimously highlight the direct link between trust and joy. The verse says our hearts rejoice 'because' we have trusted in God. John Gill calls this the 'joy of faith.' Scholars like Calvin explain that this isn't a fleeting emotion, but a deep-seated cheerfulness that comes from placing our hope securely in God alone, even amid life's sorrows. The act of trusting God is both a present source of joy and a guarantee of future rejoicing.
