Run the Right Way...with JOY!

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Drinking it faithfully will help you to be a more committed person!

            Several years ago, in a national championship cross-country race in California, a bizarre twist of events took place. 128 of the best runners in the country were participating in the grueling race. About three miles into the race, one runner, Mike Delvaco realized that the runners ahead of him had made a wrong turn. He yelled, “You’re going the wrong way,” but they didn’t listen. Only 4 others followed Mike when he turned in the right direction…and suddenly, he found himself in the lead.

About a mile later, Mike and the runners who followed him were reunited with the larger pack who, having gone the wrong way, actually shaved about a half a mile off the course. The sad part of this story is that because so many of the runners had gone the wrong way, the officials changed the route to accommodate their error.  Mike finished number 103!  Some of Mike’s competitors “thought it was funny that he went the right way.”  (worthydevotions.com)

   When you are teased and made fun of for “going the right way” spiritually, hold fast to the truth that God will NOT change the course. As 2 Chronicles 16:9 reminds us “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”  You will be rewarded… with great JOY!

            Drink your JOY JUICE faithfully and as you run the right way with God.
