Rejoice in the Lord More Than Ever May 22nd, 2016, Gospel Meeting, Toyama
Gotthold Beck
Nehemiah
8:10 “He also told them, ‘Go eat the best food, drink the best wine, and give something to those who have nothing, since this day is holy to our Lord. Don’t be sorrowful, because the joy of the Lord is your strength.’”
[International Standard Version]
Psalms
16:11 “You cause me to know the path of life; in your presence is joyful abundance, at your right hand there are pleasures forever.”
What these two verses encourage us to do is to rejoice in the Lord more than we do now. This is what the Lord wants us to do. To rejoice in the Lord is the source of all strength. This was what David, the author of Psalms experienced.
