Be JOYful.......ALWAYS?????



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today!  If so, it will help you to be joyful throughout the day!

            Do you have JOY in your heart?  The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:4 to “rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS”!  Is that possible?  1 Thess. 5:16-18 says: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

           Again, I ask you.....Is this really possible? If we believe the Word of God and if we truly are followers of Christ, then we desire to do what the Bible says.  But it’s not always easy to be joyful, is it?  As a matter of fact, I will go so far as to say that it’s humanly impossible…..

            Life happens…and there are some pretty tough circumstances that come our way.  Unexpected situations land in our lap and sometimes we truly do not know what to do.  If we try to “go it alone”….without God’s help…then there is NO WAY that we can get through the trial joyfully.   But the wonderful truth about our God, is that He doesn’t intend for us to go through it alone.  HE IS ALWAYS there…to walk with us through the good times and the bad.

            Let’s remember that a personal relationship with God is the only way to have  genuine joy in all circumstances.  You never have to face any trial alone. James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

            We CAN “rejoice in the Lord…always” if we allow God to be in total control.
