Nehemiah 8:9-12 This Holy Day
(Nehemiah 8:10 ESV) Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Please pray with me. Jesus, thank You that you do not leave me wallowing in repentance. Thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness so that I can start all over again. I celebrate with joy the strength You give me to keep on keeping on. Amen.
