Can You See It??? I'm Talking about JOY!

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Can you see it?  It’s right there on the pages of God’s word!

            In the book “The Joyful Journey” Barbara Johnson quotes the words to an old song entitled, “If We Could See Beyond Today”:

            If we could see, if we could know, we often say,

            But God in love a veil does throw across our way.

            We cannot see what lies before, and so we cling to Him the more.

            He leads us till this life is o’er, trust and obey.

 A JOYful Veil

These words are a beautiful reminder of God’s love.  He throws a veil across our way so that we can’t see the future. He knows we couldn’t handle it! Step back in time a few years.  If we had known what our world would be facing economically, morally and physically, we would have been very depressed.  In our personal lives, if we had known the upsets and trials that were coming our way, we would have dreaded the years ahead.   

WHY?

Why are we not able to see the future?  Because God loves us and He wants us to trust and obey him one day at a time. We should wake up to each new morning and receive it as a gift from Him! 

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

“Yesterday is a canceled check, and tomorrow is only a promissory note.  TODAY IS CASH!” (Barbara Johnson)  Spend it wisely and JOYfully!

            Ask Jesus to shine His light brightly on your day and look for ways to share His JOY JUICE with others along the way!
