Joy Is Your Strength
"Nehemiah said, 'Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.'"
— Nehemiah 8:10
The people wept when they heard God's law. Nehemiah says stop grieving — celebrate. Share food with those who have little. This day is holy. The joy of the Lord — not fake cheer — is your strength.
