\u201cThe joy of the Lord is your strength\u201d<\/span> (Nehemiah 8:10).<\/p>\n

As I write this in July, 2021, the summer Olympics have just begun in Tokyo, Japan. Two girls from the small town near to where I live have qualified to represent Canada at the games, one in golf, and the other as a swimmer.<\/p>\n

The one who is a swimmer was interviewed by a local newspaper recently. During the interview, she stated, \u201cI always swim better when I am happy, and when other people are cheering for me.\u201d This is understandable, for our minds do affect our bodies, and the Word of God says, \u201cA merry heart doeth good like a medicine\u201d (Proverbs 17:22).<\/p>\n

However, if our happiness depends on circumstances in this world, then it can go up and down. In our verse for today, it is the Lord\u2019s joy in us that is being spoken about. This never changes! As Christians we do not look for the world\u2019s approval, but we can always experience and appreciate the Lord\u2019s joy in us. If we are living to please Him, then He is always there to \u201ccheer us on,\u201d even if no one else does! Then we live our Christian life in His strength, not our own. When we recognize His joy in us, then it brings joy to our hearts too. The Lord Jesus could say, \u201cThese things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full\u201d (John 15:11).<\/p>\n
