Strength through Joy

Oct 12, 2010 by

This passage from Nehemiah 8 is always an encouragement to me…

10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

There is a time to weep, but there is also a time to laugh and to share joy.  The hearts of the people were broken when they realized what all they had missed for so long, but Nehemiah’s heart was encouraged, because he saw their change of heart.

This week let joy be  your strength.
