Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Run on over to the refrigerator and grab yourself a bottle as you read our challenge for today!
Do you remember the children's story "The Gingerbread Man"? As soon as he came out of the oven, he started running because he did not want to get eaten! "Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the Gingerbread Man!" He thought he was in control. BUT he got himself into a situation where he had to trust someone to get him across the river...and he chose the WRONG one to trust...the sly fox! The Gingerbread Man was gobbled up by the very one in whom he'd put his trust!
Do you ever feel as if you are running through life---trying to make difficult decisions at every turn? Often we try to handle things in our own strength. When circumstances arise in which we feel out of control, we may end up listening to the wrong person---especially if we're not careful and prayerful! And then, many times, we are gobbled up be the very one we've put our trust in!
Well, I've go some GOOD NEWS! We don't have to be like the Gingerbread Man! There is One Who we can ALWAYS trust. His name is JESUS! We DO have to be careful not to be "tricked" by the sly one, but with God by our side, we can run confidently and JOYfully.
Run, Run, as faithfully as you can!
Your JOY is knowing that you're in God's hands!
