“The joy of
the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10b, NIV).
Love the life He
gives. Although it is hard at times, it is a life that is filled with the
strength of His joy. Fill your life with His joy at every moment. Take it in as
you face the things that claim your day. Breathe in His joy until it washes away
all that dispels His peace.
Lift your face to
the sun and breathe His presence into every part of your being. Hear Him in the
chirping of morning birds and gentle sounds of insects. See Him in the breeze
that clips through the branches of the trees. In the quiet of your moments take
all of Him into your tired heart. The beauty of the gift of His creation brings
healing to your spirit, and His joy to your heart.
Live a
heart-closeness with Him. Healing of body, mind, and spirit comes from the joy
and strength He has placed within your heart. Seek Him and His joy will bring
the strength that is needed in every moment. You will have His strength to
rebuke all that comes against His peace in your life. You will spiritually know,
beyond any mental ability to understand, that His joy is truly your
strength.
