PROTECT YOUR HEART  Proverbs 4:20-27 Devotional:- “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (V. 23) NLT      Everyone is born with a strength capable of rising to greatness. In every growing child is a seed of greatness. It is this strength that makes the youth so creative and energetic. That is why each young person looks at the future with great hope. The enemy tries to destroy this strength. As strong as many started in life, not many could strike the chord of success because their strength was destroyed.

JOYFUL

JOYFUL

Nehemiah 8:1-11
Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” (V 10)

    One of the lifestyles of victors is that they live always in joy. If you observe some strong men you know, you will observe this in them. Sorrow has nothing good to offer any man. It will rather demoralise and evaporates our strength.

Sorrow is never a foundation of faith. It only produces fear and make men becomes very cheap for the devil to overcome. But joy is our inward delight and liberty expressed in the face of battle (Proverbs 15:13). It is a virtue that expresses the good state of man’s mind. A joyful mind is the fittest for victory in every situation. Joy gives strength to the mind of man. It is a good foundation for faith and confidence (Isaiah 12:3).

If you are aiming at living victoriously, then joyful living is essential. Haven’t understand the evil of sorrow, Nehemiah quickly warn God’s people against it. Letting them know that joy in God is they strength they have.

Friend, choose to live in joy. It is sweeter. It is the best for you. Handover your sorrow to Jesus and take His Joy (1 Peter 5:7). Always be conscious of His presence (Psalm 16:11). Then you will always find the joy of the Lord for strength that you desire.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always choose joy no matter the situation
