Have you had your JOY JUICE today? There’s plenty to be found in the pages of God’s Word.
Many of you may be in the habit of reading the Bible every day. That’s a great habit!
- Some like the early mornings for their quiet time.
- Others find time later in the day.
- Night-owls read God’s Word before they go to bed each night.
JOY RADAR
When I read, my spiritual radar is tuned in to the verses that refer to JOY and REJOICING and GLADNESS. It’s amazing how often those words can be found in scripture. Sometimes when I least expect it…and maybe need it the most…I’ll read a verse that refers to JOY.
For example, just this morning I was reading in the 15th chapter of Proverbs. In that one chapter alone I spotted five verses that deal with joy and cheer. Let’s look at the first one today.
Verse 13 says: A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
A happy heart! That comes from having a relationship with Jesus. A happy heart is a grateful heart because it holds the JOY of knowing that NO MATTER how much heartache comes our way and tries to crush our spirit, our constant companion, Jesus, is right there with us.
Drink your JOY JUICE continually so that it’ll seep into your heart and bring cheer and JOY, regardless of your circumstances.
