We also exult.

Romans 5:8-11, But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Paul was able to exult even in tribulation. How easy it is to base our happiness on temporal pleasures, and how fleeting that happiness can be! The problem is that we simple fail to appreciate all that He has done for us through the cross. He offers us the treasure in Heaven, that will never perish and produces true everlasting joy in Christ Jesus.

Open our eyes to see true joy that never fades in Christ Jesus!
