I always heard this verse as "For the joy of the Lord is your strength," so it really struck me when I read it in today's first reading as, "Rejoicing in the LORD must be your strength." Nehemiah 8:10
It's not only the joy of the Lord, it is the act of rejoicing in Him that must be our strength. And not only is it our strength, but it MUST be our strength. Today I can choose to participate in the act of rejoicing and not stand idly by. Join me as we find our strength together!
