“Jesus You Are My Strength”

Psalms 73:25-26

Strength is defined as the quality or state of being strong; courage; power; stability; security; substance. 

When your mind and body are feeling tired and just plain weak just remember Jesus is your strength. There is no other like Him. Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” The joy of the Lord is found on the road to restoration. God convicts us of sin, and often our first reaction is guilt and shame. But those feelings never come from God. Ezra the scribe gathered all the people. He read to them from God’s book and skilled ministers explained the words and their meaning to the people. Nehemiah 8:8 says, “They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.” Once the people understood, really understood, they wept. God's Word was opening their eyes to the way they had failed Him, but Nehemiah was quick to remind them of who the Lord is. They could delight in the joy of the Lord because he is a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate.

I come by this beautiful and blessed morning to remind you, Jesus is our strength and there is no other like Him. We don’t just do things for the Lord, we live our lives in Him, with Him, and by His strength, to honor Him with the submission of our will for His. He is our strength. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
