Nehemiah 8:10 ‘For this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
DAILY READING; Revelation 2; Nehemiah 3; Psalm 97
Mountaineers who climb high mountains, and athletes who run long distances, are often very careful about their diet. This is because what they eat, can ultimately affect their performance.
For sportsmen and women who desire to be physically strong and successful in their career, the link between good nutrition and overall health is too important to be ignored.
Proper nutrition provides the necessary fuel for the body to perform and recover during physical activity. Consuming a balanced diet with adequate protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats can help support muscle growth and repair, maintain energy levels, and improve recovery time.
Neglecting proper nutrition can have negative effects on the body, such as decreased energy levels, impaired muscle recovery, and decreased progress towards fitness goals.
The food choices of sports men and women affect their health, strength and how much they can achieve in sporting competitions. Therefore good nutrition is indeed an important part of their being physically strong and rising to the top in their sporting career.
As believers, to achieve great exploits and fly high in life, we must be careful what we eat spiritually. Our primary source of spiritual strength comes from The Word of God. When we wait on The Lord in His Word our strength is renewed to mount up with wings as eagles. It is from The Word, that we receive the divine strength and ability to rise above obstacles and ascend to great heights in life.
Also feeding on the Word of God, imparts into our heart the joy of the Lord which is our strength to achieving victory.
Jeremiah 15:16 says ‘Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.’
Joy is the mystery behind rising above obstacles. As we remain connected to God’s presence where there is fullness of joy, we will never fall no matter how hard the wind blows.
Today, the world is currently passing through difficult times, with many nations facing economic recession, security concerns, social unrest etc.
While this current state of affairs can foster an atmosphere of despondency, as Christians we cannot allow anything to steal our joy because that is what gives us the victory. Despite adverse conditions, we are commanded to ‘rejoice in the Lord always.’ [Philippians 4:4-8].
Joy empowers us to become high flyers and rise to our high places. But depression can stop you from getting there because once the devil succeeds in stealing your joy, he has succeeded in stealing your strength.
So do not allow anything to hinder your joy, rather in everything keep giving thanks. In every situation, let us keep our hope in God who never fails. Certainly, our God is ever constant and reliable and is able to turnaround any condition and surpass all our expectations.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to remain joyful and keep praising You despite any situation, let nothing ever stop the continual flow of your praise from my mouth because You are too faithful to ever fail me in Jesus Name.

Praise always guarantees you power for a raise, learning to praise God in season and out of season is key to fulfilling destiny. – WORDBITE 222
