Strength in Weakness

Nehemiah 8:10 (WEB)

Don't be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.

Reflection

Joy and strength aren't usually words we put together. But the joy that comes from knowing God, from knowing you are loved, forgiven, and purposed, that joy is fuel. It's not about being happy all the time; it's about drawing power from an unshakeable source.

Prayer

Lord, fill me with a joy that doesn't depend on my circumstances. Let the deep, settled joy of knowing You be the strength that carries me through today.
