Obey God's Speed Limit JOYfully!



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?   There’s no limit to how fast you can drink it! 

            Do you always obey the speed limit signs?  It’s my guess that most of us have been guilty of driving too fast…maybe even getting a speeding ticket.  Why do we get angry at the officer who catches us? Is it his fault? WE are the ones who have broken the speed limit.   His job is to protect us and he does that by enforcing the law.  So instead of being angry, we really should be thanking him for trying to keep us safe!

            How often do we speed ahead of God?  When God stops us by allowing our choices to trap us, we may find ourselves in some pretty uncomfortable situations. Sometimes we’re angry with God because we’ve been “caught”.  Is it God’s fault?   Nope!  It’s the consequences of our own poor choices; and the “ticket” we have to pay often hurts.

            In Psalm 46:10 God tells us toBe still, and know that I am God”. Frequently we do speed ahead of God rather than being still and waiting on Him to tell us when and where and how fast to go.  It’s not always an easy thing to “BE STILL”….especially when you desire to “do something” for Him!

            Rest assured that God’s timing and speed are perfect!  Don’t get ahead of him by going too fast; but, neither should we lag behind when He give us an assignment.

         Stay in perfect alignment with Him by obeying His speed limit.  That’s where you will find JOY in serving Him.
