Joy, Joy, Joy

Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”(Nehemiah 8:10 ESV)

When you are feeling down or struggling with a problem, you are unsure how to resolve it when you are sad or lonely. When you have lost your will to move on and have no joy in your life, go, do the work of the Lord. Pick yourself up and do His will. You will find that in doing so, the Joy of the Lord will strengthen you. We cannot help but become happier when we do the Lord’s will.

When you do something for someone and their life is better because of it, you cannot help but feel better for doing that work. Better yet, when you spread the Gospel, and someone accepts Christ as their savior; when God uses you as a conduit to help Him make that change, nothing in the world will put joy in your heart as that will. Go and shine a light on someone. Make their world a little better; in doing so, you will be all the better.

Share the Gospel!

Shalom Aleichem (peace be upon you).

Have a blessed Sabbath Day.
