SD#12: Living the Joy-Filled Life - Denise Pass

Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV)

“Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

As we have been exploring what real hope is, this week we can learn life-changing truths from Ezra and Nehemiah.

Joy. Such a small word and sometimes so hard to find and really live out. Life can be so hard and steal our joy. But we can live the joy-filled life when we have an understanding of God’s word and walk in it.

Come unlock the door to joy with me in God’s word in this episode as we explore what it meant when Nehemiah said, “the joy of the LORD is our strength.”

Listen in as we let go of the world’s hold on our joy and learn to live the joy-filled life that Christ has for us.

Those who have tasted and seen that the LORD is good understand that He is our joy and the joy of the LORD is our strength.

When Your Rooster Crows
I sat on my back porch, wrapped in my fuzzy worn robe—the one that’s twenty years old that I just can’t seem to get rid of. The birch trees waved “good morning,” and the newly planted gerbera daisies stretched their faces to the sun…just a bit higher than the day before. Then I heard him. The rooster.
