The joy of the LORD is my strength.
In times of trouble or doubt, I’m reminded again and again, it’s never in my own strength, will, or determination, but in the joy of the LORD that He makes a way where there is no way.
The joy of the LORD is not an escape from life’s challenges but rather the empowerment of the Holy Spirit that carries us through them.
Whatever you may be facing today, remember this: the joy of the LORD is your strength. Lean into Him, and you’ll find power you didn’t know you had. 
Blessings,
EMP.
