The Joy of the Lord

“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” 

Nehemiah 8:10




Sometimes we are the ones who put the pressure on ourselves to be “perfect”, when all God wants from us is that we draw close to Him. All God wants is that we love Him for who He is, and not for what we can get from Him. Every day can be an adventure with the Lord if we just stay in step with Him, in sync. Today it seemed as if the Lord was telling me that I put too much stress on myself, when there was only one thing needed. That was the same “one thing” that Mary in Luke 10:42 chose, the better part, which was to sit down in front of Jesus and just enjoy listening to Him. Indeed the joy of the Lord shall be our strength if we do this.
