Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8: 10
Thursday's Discipline: Eat foods that give you strength...healthy and wholesome.
Thursday's Focus: To become strong in the Lord
This day is really all about getting strong for tomorrow's battle. A day to build up faith and prepare for the things God has planned for us. The scripture says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. So the day is spent with one thought in mind...does this bring God joy? Those things that bring God joy are worship, praise, obedience, and trust. It is a day to be encouraged through God's word. Though this day doesn't seem too difficult, I do stay away from sugar and fried things, definitely no junk food. When cooking I try to use fresh things with very litte preservatives.
