Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’s the drink that truly satisfies!
Lessons of JOY
There are countless lessons that we can learn from observing the innocent behavior of newborns. Often these little ones are showered with gifts, but the truth is--- they could care less what’s in the beautifully wrapped packages or whether that gift is pink or blue. They only care about the basics…food, sleep and comfort. And of course lots of love.
When a baby has his tummy full, has on a clean diaper and is sleeping in his mommy’s loving arms, he is completely satisfied. He couldn’t ask for anything more. In the same way, when we are spiritually fed by feasting on the Word of God and we make Godly choices so as to stay pure and clean, we can rest contently in our Father’s loving arms.
In 1 Peter 2:2-3 we are admonished: “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”
Do you crave pure spiritual milk….like a newborn baby craves milk? When we are born again by accepting Christ as our Savior, we become spiritual newborns. If we are healthy, we will yearn to grow. How sad it is that some people never grow up. When we see our need for God’s Word and begin to find nourishment in Christ, our spiritual appetite will increase, and we will start to mature. (Life Application Bible footnote.)
We must first drink in the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word before we’ll be able to enjoy our
Joy Juice!
