6
For the joy of the Lord is
your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
In
Psalms, David said, “I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall
continually be in my mouth.” At all times
means in the good times as well as the tough times. The Bible tells us to stay
full of joy no matter what we are facing.
The
joy of the Lord is our source of strength and the enemy knows it. He knows that
if he can get you down and discouraged, before long, you’ll be weak and feeble
and he’ll be able to easily defeat you.
When
you are full of joy and have a good attitude, you keep yourself strong. That
positive attitude of faith paves the way for God to work miracles in your
life—it paves the way for God to turn your situation around!
Decide
today to have a good attitude. Keep yourself full of His joy by mediating on
the goodness and promises of God. Be full of the joy of the Lord! You’ll soon
experience supernatural strength and discover the victorious life God has
planned for you!
Prayer for Today:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for filling my life with joy. Thank You that I am blessed and I cannot be cursed. Thank You that in all things You cause me to triumph in Christ. Thank You for your strength within me that comes from that joy. I bless You today and rejoice in Your goodness by your precious life-giving Holy Spirit, to Your glory, honor, praise, and thanksgiving, in Jesus’ mighty name!
