Nehemiah was facing hard times. The people were sad. Listen to what he told them in Nehemiah 8:10 (emphasis mine).
“10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”” The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Ne 8:10.
His joy is our strength. It isn’t in ourselves, but from Him!
