STRENGTH! Part 4
LightWord: The Joy of the Lord. “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10 The joy of the Lord is the secret of the strength of the saints. Nehemiah 8:10 . The more joyful you are, the stronger you become daily. No wonder Scripture says, “A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression.” Proverbs 17:22, TPT. Therefore, rejoice! And again I say, rejoice! Rejoice evermore! Don’t allow the circumstances around you to steal your joy. Your joy is not merely an emotion, it is a source of strength for your walk with God. Say this to yourself: Thank You, Father, for I am filled with the fullness of the Spirit of joy. Irrespective of anything going on around me, I decree and declare I am a joyful being and a stronger being. I am stronger every day of my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
