This Day is Holy

They read from the Book of the Law of God and clearly explained the meaning of what was being read, helping the people understand each passage.

Then he said to them, “Go home and prepare a feast, holiday food and drink; and share it with those who don’t have anything: This day is holy to God. Don’t feel bad. The joy of God is your strength!”

When I discovered your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart’s delight.

Nehemiah 8:8,10 • Jeremiah 15:16 (New Living Translation)
