Bible Question: What is the joy of the Lord |
Bible Answer: In the context of Nehemiah verse 17 gives us more insight, Neh 8:17 All the assembly of returned exiles made booths and dwelt in them; for since the days of Jeshua (Joshua) son of Nun up to that day, the Israelites had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. It was a day of rejoicing and sadness, i.e., mixed emotions you might say. We see this sometimes at weddings, tears of joy. The Lord brought them back to the land. Trusting the Lord gives us joy because in Him we have hope and He gives us strength in the hard times if we rely on Him. Blessings - Val |
