The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength

When was the last time you laughed? They say that laughter is the best medicine. Laughter has been proven to have many long-term health benefits and to help reduce stress even in the hardest times of life!

The Bible says in Nehemiah 8:10 that the joy of the Lord is your strength. This was being said to a group of people who were weeping with the realization that they had not kept God’s law faithfully.

Of course, there’s a time for grieving over the wrongs that we have done. But when we’re at our weakest, God knows we need His joy to help us to get strong again. Not just any joy—but the joy of the Lord!

Will you pause today and enjoy all the good gifts God has given you? Thank Him for His kindness and for His faithfulness.

Even if you’re going through a serious time, it’s okay…go ahead—let yourself laugh. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength.
