the joy of the LORD

"...This day is sacred to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep...
...Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength...
...Be still, for this is a sacred day. Do not grieve....
...Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them..."
- Neh 8:9-12
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. "
-Ps 118:24
"...I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
- 2 Cor 6:2

Understand this and rejoice!
