Joy of the Lord Strengthens

Joy* midst Scriptures’ meditation Communing with God during moments of devotion Listening to His voice for divine instruction While drawing nigh to Him plight’s intention Cognizant that He hearkens to sincere supplication Geared toward worshipful dedication… Oh, strengthening gladness of the Lord in action Empowers my faith for work fruition Along His gracious constraining motion Subduing slothfulness’ perdition.
*Nehemiah 8:10 … the joy of the LORD is your strength. August 4, 2019
