The Joy of the Lord is My strength!



“The Joy of the Lord is my strength!”
(Nehemiah 8:10)

We need Joy!  The Joy of the Lord is our strength.  I had a dream last night that I was praying for Joy.  Joy is a taste of heaven coming to earth.  There is strength in Joy.   Joy is an overcoming quality of the heart.  When we are in Joy we feel strong and the wind of our sails reach harbor. 
Say, “The Joy of the Lord is my strength” out loud to yourself, your coworkers, and your family members.  Let the power of God’s spoken Word take effect in your life. 
Don’t let joyless living be your mantra.  Activate Joy in your life.  Pursue it.  It’s not always easy to experience Joy.  It can be elusive.  Take lessons from children.  The older we get the harder we have to fight for Joy to be predominant in our life. 


Pray for Joy.  Pray for the Fruits of the Spirit to be active in your life.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  Galatians 5:22-23
Amen.
