August 14, Morning
The joy of the Lord is your strength.
[Neh.8:10]
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth with singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people and will have mercy upon his afflicted. ■ Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. ■ The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. ■ My soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
[Isa.49:13 | Isa.12:2 | Psa.28:7 | Isa.61:10]
I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ those things which pertain to God. ■ We ... joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. ■ I will joy in the God of my salvation.
[Rom.15:17 | Rom.5:11 | Hab.3:18]
