Then he said to them, "Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10
God's people had returned to Jerusalem and the wall was built. The word of the Lord was read for them and they realized their sins caused them all their griefs. They were reminded not to grieve because the good things were yet to come. Their repentance put them back in the light of the Lord. Celebrate. The joy of the Lord is and will be your strength. When we've been restored from our sins, celebrate. The joy of the Lord is our strength too.
