In Times Like These, We Need JOY!

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s guaranteed to make you feel special!  And that’s a JOYful feeling!

            We all enjoy feeling special. But many people don’t! In this world of problems and challenges, there are countless individuals who are depressed and despondent.  At times each of us experience discouragement and may even think of giving up.  It’s at times like these…when we feel like throwing up our hands in desperation… that we should cry out to God.

            Just like the old hymn says:

In times like these you need a Savior

In times like these you need an anchor

Be very sure, be very sure

Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock

          That Solid Rock…is Jesus!  When our faith is in Him, we can know that no matter what’s going on…in good times and bad…He holds us in His strong arms.  He is our firm foundation.  Be reminded often that He loves us so much that He gave His life to save us. Now, doesn’t that make you feel special?  That’s what the JOY JUICE of Jesus is all about.  Have a great big serving today!

            It is my prayer that each of us understands that we are special in God’s eyes.  When you accept His love, you’ll be able to sing “In times like these my anchor holds tightly because of the JOY of the Lord.”
