The Joy of the Lord is our Strength

“Don’t mourn or weep on such a day as this! For today is a sacred day before the LORD your God.”

For the people had all been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!”
(Nehemiah 8:9-10 NLT)
