"Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.'" - Nehemiah 8:10
I had some big ol' long thing written up.
It was too much.
Let's just say that today's verse is an encouragement for times when you feel like all is lost, and you want to grieve.
In those times, God has a word for you, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)
Just say it over and over again. "The joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10) "The joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)
And in the light of God's promise, hum, pray, say, sing, whatever works for you, this uplifting song by Chris Tomlin, "Our God!"
Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You
CHORUS
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Into the darkness you shine
Out of the ashes we Rise
There's no One like You
None like You.
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who can ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Praaaaaaaise God!
