There’s Strength in Joy
Nehemiah 8:10 says, ”Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” There’s strength in being joyful and happy, while being sad or mad makes us weak. Satan isn’t after our joy; he’s after our strength. He wants us to be too weak to pray. He wants us worn out and burned out, but the Lord will lift our head and shield us from the enemy’s plot against us if we will put our trust in Him. Only God can fill our hearts with joy and true peace. As we trust Him in every situation, He will strengthen and encourage us.
