Joy

 Joy

Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Notice here that it is the joy of the LORD not the joy of what is happening.
If you don’t have joy right now there is nothing nor no one else that can give it to you except the Lord. Too often we chase after things or people believing that if we just had them we would have joy. Theses things may give you happiness but happiness is short lived and is based upon what is happening. Joy on the other hand is not based upon what is happening but upon the Lord. So joy is always present in the Lord.
There’s so much more to know about joy than what I have time to write here. Let me encourage you to go to the Bible and read more about it. It will change your life for the better if you do.
