Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
That's why my heart is absolutely buzzing with joy, and I can't help but speak up about it. Even my whole body gets to chill knowing there's hope ahead.
When you know God's got you, your heart, your words, and your whole body can finally relax into that hope.
