The Joy of the Lord

For the joy of the LORD is your strength. – Nehemiah 8:10
Reflection
We do not find genuine joy in circumstances but in Christ. His joy strengthens us when emotions fail and renews us when life feels heavy. The joy of the Lord is not shallow happiness; it’s a deep assurance that He is good, faithful, and near. When joy becomes our strength, despair loses its grip, illuminating our path even in the darkest moments.
Application
Choose gratitude, even when you don’t feel joyful
Ask the Holy Spirit to restore your joy in His presence
Share encouragement with someone who feels weary
Connection
Thank You, Lord, for being my source of joy and strength. Fill my heart with gladness that rises above circumstances and refreshes those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
