The Joy of the Lord
Scripture: Nehemiah 8:10 “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Reflection: Joy is more than a fleeting emotion; it is a deep-rooted assurance that comes from God’s presence. Nehemiah 8:10 teaches us that His joy is our source of strength. When we tap into the joy of the Lord, it rejuvenates our spirit and gives us resilience, even in the midst of challenges. Choosing joy means celebrating God’s goodness and allowing His presence to uplift us.
Prayer: Father, fill my heart with Your divine joy. Let it be my strength and song even when difficulties arise. May Your joy overflow in my life, bringing hope and encouragement to those around me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
