“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).
As Christians, we’re free to live joyfully, regardless of what’s going on around us. We can enjoy what God has blessed us with, but we are to share those blessings with others. The true joy that comes only from God gives us strength the world doesn’t have.
