THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH
Where do you find your strength? This is a thought that crossed my mind today at work. With lots of driving back and forth to work, long work hours, church events, household chores and so much more, sometimes our bodies get physically drained. We turn to energy drinks, vitamins, and change of exercise to regain our energy and strength.

It was as if the Lord gently nudged me and said, “Have you thought about trying the Joy of Lord for strength”. What a profound thought. As I began to ponder it and started singing praise songs in my mind, a whole new focus came over me. Within 10 minutes my body had a new step. I was no longer dragging as I was before. You see many times it’s not that our bodies are tired, it’s that our emotions are worn down causing our body to believe we are exhausted. Try letting the Joy of the Lord be your strength. It’s amazing what those few words will do in your life.
