Have you had your JOY JUICE today? No matter what time of the year, it’s always
refreshing!
Though I’ve
read the Bible for a long, it still amazes me that I continually find “new”
things that I do not remember seeing before!
It’s as if God continues to add truths that I need at just the right
time! Well, you and I both know that the
Word of God does not change….WE DO! Our
needs, our desires, our spiritual maturity, our circumstances….all of those
change. And when the eyes of our hearts become
receptive, we do see new truth that we’ve not “seen” before.
Today as I
was enjoying the autumn weather, I opened His Word to the short book of Joel. I
found a new batch of JOY JUICE I didn't remember tasting before. Written by the Prophet, Joel, the purpose of
the book was to warn Judah of God’s impending judgment because of their sins
and to urge them to turn back to God.
I was
struck by how our country needs to heed this same message! How we need to turn back to God and the
principles on which our country was founded.
Joel said:
“Rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in
righteousness. He sends you abundant
showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.” (Joel 2:23)
The joy
found here is that God can and will intervene and draw us back to Him, if we
humble ourselves before Him and repent of our sins.
Let
us pray for forgiveness and those autumn rains of righteousness…..abundant
showers of HIS JOY JUICE!
