After all the Lord would have brought the harvest to them. Then he says neither be be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Eat the fat, and drink the sweet-We need to take in the Word of God and drink the sweetness of the Holy Spirit.
Send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared– Those who have not prepared or could not afford to, prepare to send some to them.
Remember this day is holy unto our Lord-Remember that the Lord has provided the harvest to you, and we know that he provided these provisions.
Neither be ye sorry- Do not grieve, for the joy– If we do not have breath of life, health and strength, family and jobs, we are nothing. All is vanity and vexation of Spirit.

All we have is provided from Our Lord Jesus. Thus, we must trust and delight in the Lord.

For the joy of the LORD is your strength- When we rely on God’s strength, we can do anything. It empowers us to step out in faith and serve others selflessly and boldly proclaim the Gospel. It gives us the strength to fulfill the great commission and make an impact for eternity.

For the joy of the LORD is your strength-We must rely on the strength of the LORD to accomplish his will in our lives.
