Have you had your Joy Juice today? Keep your pantry well stocked so that you’ll always have plenty for your family!
Many of you who are reading this devotional today are parents or grandparents. Do you realize that NO ONE ELSE can pray for your little ones as you can? The genuine love that you have for your children--- the tenderness you feel for them, your knowledge of their personality, needs and problems---helps you to plead with God on their behalf with an urgency which can not be matched.
When God speaks of his willingness to hear our prayers, He bases His proof on His parental love. Look at the scripture in Luke 11:13 where Jesus said: "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
Our children are surrounded by evil influences…nobody denies that. But do we realize how important our role is in praying for their protection? Our God is a powerful, loving God and He listens to our prayers on behalf of our children. We should pray without ceasing…pray about everything…pray about their decisions, their friends, their health, their spiritual condition. Most importantly, we should set a consistent Godly example before them. In the words of a wise Indian man, "WHO you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say." Is your life “speaking” the JOY of Jesus?
Pray for those precious children God has put into your life (no matter how old or young they are)...and always offer them the Joy Juice of Jesus!
