Joyous Strength
This Week's Topic
Transformed in my Emotional Health
"The joy of The Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10
When I think about strength, I think about lifting weights or standing boldly in the face of some fear or danger. It's a little abstract to think of getting strength from being joyful. That's exactly what happens when we think about God's power, grace, forgiveness, patience, comfort and love. Thinking on these things gives you joy and strength to face the day. It doesn't mean you're happy all the time with every circumstance. It means you have a joyful attitude, one focused on glorifying God and enjoying Him forever.
Prayer: God, help me to focus on You when I need strength.
Example: Weight lifting only goes so far...
