Worry comes when the current challenge or problem before us is magnified above God’s word and faithfulness. When we worry, in effect we are saying God can’t help us with this problem. We are on our own and this problem will overwhelm us. However, today God wants to remind us that we should reject worry. It is not part of our DNA. Our DNA is faith, confidence, joy, peace, power, boldness and expectation. Nehemiah told God’s people: “and do not be worried, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and your stronghold” (Nehemiah 8:10). It’s time to set the joy of the Lord loose in your spirit. After all, what is the option? Worry, be GONE! We have the joy of the Lord within us, and we are strong in the Lord!
Nehemiah 8:10 (b) (Amp) “…And do not worry, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold”
