This day is holy to our Lord.
Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10b NIV
It is the consciousness of the threefold joy of the Lord,
His joy in ransoming us,
His joy in dwelling within us as our Saviour and Power for fruit bearing
and His joy in possessing us, as His Bride and His delight;
it is the consciousness of this joy which is our real strength.
Our joy in Him may be a fluctuating thing: His joy in us knows no change.
Hudson Taylor
I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you,
and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.
John 15:11 Amplified Bible
It is His joy that remains in us that makes our joy full.
A. B. Simpson
