Day 271: Nehemiah 8-10

Today on Meditating the Word: Ezra reads the law, the Israelites confess their sins, and the Agreement of the People, 

This is Day 271. Today we are reading Nehemiah 8-10

Father God, thank You for Your Word. We recognize that while it is good and right to confess our sins, and to repent and turn from them back to You, Your Word makes it clear that we are not to remain in mourning and sadness. The joy of the Lord -- Your joy, Father -- is our strength. So we turn from our sorrow, and we rest in Your sweet presence, letting the fruit of communion with You grow and flourish in us, Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit. Thank You, Father, for Your amazing gifts of mercy and loving kindness.  Amen
