Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

- Nehemiah 8:10

Happiness is something that is often preached by the world. That in order to maintain happiness in every moment, we must simply focus on pleasing ourselves.

However, happiness is dependent on circumstances.

The joy of the Lord is not!

This is why the joy of the Lord is so powerful. It gives us strength even during tough circumstances. Just like the peace Jesus gives us is unlike the world’s version of peace, the joy of the Lord is unlike the world’s version of joy.

The joy of the Lord is something that cannot be fabricated. It is something that can only be birthed from a deep knowing and intimate relationship with Him.

When His goodness and love permeate your life so deeply, you can’t help but experience His joy all the time! By walking hand in hand with your Heavenly Father, there is no challenge that you cannot face and there is no hardship that you can’t overcome. There is a supernatural peace and sense of security in knowing Him so intimately, because you’ve experienced His love for you and His goodness.

Today, take time to seek out the Lord and come face to face with Him. Pursue Him with all your might, and His indescribable joy will overtake you, no matter the circumstances! Lift up praises to Him, sing His name and thank Him for His goodness!

Prayer: Lord, how great and wonderful is your joy that gives me strength even during difficult times. Help me to stay close to you and walk hand in hand with you. I choose your joy today.  

With Love,
Sarah Sherstad

Please pray for the people living in and near Ruidoso, New Mexico. Wild fire has evacuated all of us and as of last night 1400 structures are reported lost. Today wind changes are expected that will be higher than the past two days and this will cause more loss.
Thank you for you devotions that are always just what I need to see each morning. The scripture for today is once again very timely for me….we are thankful to have a motor home and left our home ahead of the official evacuation order and ahead of the heavy traffic. Now we wait and watch for notices and official reports wondering if our home has burned and knowing that the fire is getting closer by the minute and knowing that some of our friends and neighbors have already lost their homes.
Bless you all.fir praying for us and the fire crews working here.
Thank you
