Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? You don’t see
any with your name on it! Well, I
promise it’s there!
Some days
we may feel as if JOY is hiding from us.
The bottles of Joy Juice with our name on them seem to have been locked
away, because we sure don’t feel very joyful. We may not feel the closeness
with God that we once did. We may wonder, “If He really loved me, how could He
let certain things happen? Is He really
a good and just God?”
Or it might
be that we’ve prayed and prayed for a certain desire of our heart…for
years…..and still He has not answered that prayer. Where is the JOY in those circumstances?
When we get
that place in our lives that we are focusing on all that we don’t have, instead
of the countless things God has blessed us with…we will be in danger of losing
our joy. Remember God NEVER promised
that our lives would be without trials and difficulties. The important thing to
keep in mind is that God, Himself, knows what it’s like to watch His only Son
die. And He allowed that because of His
love for YOU AND ME!
So when you
feel your joy slipping away, quickly focus on what God has done for you. Find the JOY in relationship with
Him….trusting that He knows best and that He has you in the shelter of His
wing. I’d suggest that you read the
entire chapter of Psalm 91. Here’s verse
4 to remind you that He is joyfully protecting you.
“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find
refuge.”
Uncover the
JOY that God has planned especially for you!
