Meditate on the word of God, think on these things read Philippians 4: 4-13 may God strengthen you for the journey

I wonder how all These Pastors get it wrong on " THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH ". The Hebrew Version says what the Israelites will do is the Joy of the Lord, but that Joy is not their STRENGTH, but The Lord Himself is their STRENGTH. The object is not the Joy, but THE LORD. Pls van someone Check from the Hebrew Bible ?

You are absolutely right. Its about God being happy coz our joy rests on God being happy.
