Joy is that feeling that we always seem to chase, but have a hard time holding on to. One day it's here, the next day life tosses us a curveball and our joy seems to fade away.
Andy Williamson helps to decompress the famous saying “The Joy of the Lord is my strength.”
This verse has comforted millions in different times of need, but there is something more to it than just a good thought. God is telling us that our strength will be found through the Joy that only He can bring. And when you operate in His Joy, you start to gain strength and encouragement. Once you learn how to live in God's Joy and Abundance, you continue it day after day, which only makes you stronger.
This verse doesn’t mean that there won't be some battle scars gained along the way – that’s called life. They key is to not look at those hardships as the determining factor in your joy and future. Go get your strength today!
