Nehemiah 12:43
And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, Dec. 8, GREAT JOY (Neh. 12:43). God gifts are always great, pure, special. They can’t be copied or imitated. They can’t be given or made by anybody.
1. Always successful.
No matter in what kind of condition, wherever the people are, how big the crowd is, etc. If God gives, then, he or they are certainly would have a great joy.
2. Last long.
It would not only be temporary. It would be staying in the heart of the people for a long time. It is a joy that beyond time and anything. It wouldn’t be influenced by any problem the person experiences. It wouldn’t be affected by anything. It is from God. It is controlled by God alone.
3. Only 2 parties, God and man.
It doesn’t need to be added by anything else. No beverage and food needed. No dancing and music needed. No show and entertainment needed. It is just God and the person. How desperate we need that kind of joy? ASH.
