How Can We Guarantee That the Joy of the LORD Will Be Our Strength?
October 27, 2024 • Steve Marshall • Nehemiah 8
You get bad news and life changes quickly. Where do you find your strength to be steadfast in your faith? The greatest strength on earth that you will find in difficult times is the joy of the LORD. God is eternally, essentially, and entirely joyful and He wants His joy to be your strength in every circumstance you find yourself. “The joy of the LORD is your strength” (Neh. 8:10). To know God is to know His strong and powerful joy.
