Have you had your JOY JUICE today? If you want a healthy lifestyle, this is
where to start: With your daily
recommended serving of JOY and HOPE!
In 1997 the
American Heart Association reported a remarkable finding. From years of research, they concluded that
people who experienced high levels of despair and hopelessness had a 20 %
greater occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD) than did optimistic
people. Researcher Susan Everson stated:
“This is the same magnitude of increased risk that one sees in comparing a
pack-a-day smoker to a non-smoker.”
Do you get
the picture? God calls us to choose HOPE
and FAITH. No, we can’t control most of the circumstances that come into our
lives. But we can choose our reaction to
them! We will experience problems and difficulties, but…as children of God, we can lay our burdens at the foot of the
Cross!
How many times do we have to read or
hear “The
JOY of the LORD is our strength”(Nehemiah 8:10) until we truly believe
it and apply that truth to our lives? The faithful, Christian walk contributes to overall
good health, for God gives us a legitimate basis for hope. And with that hope…..comes JOY! ABUNDANT JOY in Him!
Have
a double dose of JOY JUICE! It does the body good…as
well as our heart and soul!
