“This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not be discouraged, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:9,10.
Nehemiah was a man of action. He left his responsible position with the Persian government to return to Jerusalem.
He found the people whining and complaining about their situation. He went to work, organizing the people to rebuild the temple.
His positive attitude made the difference.
Self-pity causes you to be weak; joy gives you strength.
Think about it.
Have a blessed day!
