The Joy Of The Lord Is Your Strength

“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength” Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV.

Do you have a tendency to look at the negative more than the positive?

Love is the most positive force on the earth. Because God is love. When you have been energized by Gods love you will be energized with His joy!  Look beyond the circumstances of your day  and be filled with His joy.  too many christians become situation focused rather than God focused. Remember, what you meditate on, you will magnify in your life.  So meditate on God and you will not only develop the fruit of love in your life, you will be filled with His joy!

If you stay focused on the negative things in your life, the enemy will steal your capacity for joy. If you focus on what you don’t have, you will not be in tune with the Spirit of God which is a spirit of life that brings abundance.  Be mindful throughout your day to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Be sensitive to what Jesus is doing… even in your home. Be sensitive to what Jesus is doing in your children. To walk in the Spirit requires you to develop a sensitive ear to the spirit.  If you walk sensitively and in step with the Spirit, you will walk in joy.
