"maoz"

 Tuesday, May 12, 2026 (6:15 a.m.)

Good morning Lord,

Thank You that Your joy is indeed my strength. Talk with me about that this morning, will You?

(6:28 a.m.)

And again You amaze me! Thank You Father.

Looking at Nehemiah 8:10 I learn more. The Hebrew word translated here as “strength” is “maoz.” Meaning “refuge, stronghold, fortress, place of protection.” Thank You that You ARE these things for me!

How perfectly timed is the reading of the Recovery Themes listed here in The Life Recovery Bible. Each of the four topics touching on some relational issues rather emotionally discussed just yesterday evening.

Father, thank You for knowing Your children so well! How I thank You for providing us healthy examples for: boundary setting, confrontation, encouragement, and confession, followed by worship.

Lord God, I want to continue learning the ways You would have us live. Lovingly. Honorably. Securely. In, with, by, through and for You.

Do all You must in using me exactly as only You know is best. I love, need, trust and want You Lord. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
