Hi friends – As I reflect on the word strength, what pops in my mind is the scripture I am going to share today. It is a beautiful promise. This verse comes to my mind often because I know that the joy of the Lord does give me strength. When we choose to receive this powerful scripture and this amazing promise from God, He changes us. This promise allows us to navigate the different seasons in life with joy in our hearts and strength that can only come from the Lord.
Review – Nehemiah 8:10 – The joy of the Lord is my strength – The word strength in this verse means refuge, stronghold, place of protection. God wants to be our refuge and place of protection. There is joy when we can rest in God’s strength.
Receive – God never planned for us to navigate this life on our own. I know not every season is easy. God wants to give us joy and He wants to provide us with strength so that we don’t have to navigate any of life on our own. I challenge you to memorize this scripture. It is an easy one to remember and a beautiful promise to receive.
Respond in prayer – Dear Lord Jesus – Thank you for your joy and strength. Remind me every day that you are there to fill me with joy and give me strength. Amen
Until next time my friends remember you are known and loved by God. Blessings!
