Day 9 — Delight
- Scripture: Nehemiah 8:10: Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
- Reflection: Joy is not a luxury. Neuroscience confirms that joy and laughter regulate stress chemistry. God urges us, and created us, to experience delight.
Gratitude trains us to savor joy where it glimmers. When we exercise the muscle of perspective and appreciation, we build up our capacity for joy, connection, and resilience. - Practice: Schedule something fun today—on purpose.
