Bible Question:
The joy of the Lord is my strength. This is a very popular verse that has been gnawing at my soul for years.I have researched it as far as i can go. What does it mean for my life? |
Bible Answer: Zoe, you don't reference your question with Scripture, but I would guess you are alluding to Nehemiah 8:10. You ask what the verse means in your life, and no one can answer that but you. I believe you can gain a clear understanding of what it meant in the lives of the people of ancient Israel by reading it in its entire context having to do with the revitalization of Jerusalem's religion in Nehemiah 8 through 10. --Hank |
