Have you had your JOY JUICE today? No need to be angry at yourself if you
forgot! Just drink it in now!
This week we’re
searching for JOY in the 37th chapter of Psalms. Let’s look today in
verses 8 - 11. “Refrain from anger and turn from
wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will
inherit the land. A little while, and
the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be
found. But the meek will inherit the
land and enjoy great peace.”
Where is
the joy in this passage? It’s one of
those messages we have to be tuned into, seeking the JOY of the Lord diligently
as we peer deep into the heart of God for understanding. My Bible footnote reminds us that:
“Anger and worry
(fretting) are very destructive emotions.
They reveal a lack of faith that God loves us and is in control. When we dwell on our problems, we will
become anxious and angry. But if we
concentrate on God and his goodness, we will find peace.”
Now are you
beginning to see the JOY?
·
We don’t have to worry because
GOD loves us and has our future in His hands.
·
We can be joyfully secure in knowing that we are
under His watchful care, his safekeeping.
·
When we allow anger and anxiety to take hold of
us, we are letting the enemy steal our JOY!
·
Sooooo, trust God and remember that peace is found
in relationship with Him, and that leads to indescribable JOY!
Let’s keep
digging into the scriptures to find special servings of HIS JOY!
