Last week was hard. This week is stressful too. So much is going on and the deadlines are pressing in and the result is . . . well . . . tiredness and stress.
A dear friend of mine keeps reminding me (by reminding herself) that God's joy gives us strength. She gets this wisdom from Nehemiah 8:10, "Don't be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!"
Joy--the joy of the Lord--is something I need to cling to right now. Isn't it good to know that when things don't seem to be "joyful" by all rational logic--there is still a joy that can be had through the filling of the Spirit?
May the joy of the Lord be our strength today!
(Go on now . . . sing that song, you know you want to!)
great verse! =) may He continue to add joy to your life.
