Hide that JOY JUICE! (In Your Heart)

 

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  We need to start the New Year faithfully drinking it and serving it….especially in our homes.

            As we begin a new year, we should all be seeking guidance in how to live a more Godly, productive life.  Wouldn’t it be great if we had an instruction manual to tell us how?  Well, good news!  We do!!!!  It’s called the Holy Bible.

            Psalm 119: 11(KJV) says: "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."  How do we “hide” God’s word in our heart?

·        By reading and studying it OFTEN

·        By memorizing scripture

·        By applying it daily

         When we are so familiar with the scriptures that we know them “by heart”, we are able to face any situation that may come our way. We will have the  knowledge and truth of scripture hidden in the depths of our hearts and minds.

            2013 has just begun and the year lies ahead of us…full of promise.  We know that all things won’t be perfectly wonderful, but we know the ONE who is wonderfully perfect!  And He will always be there to guide us.  Let’s ask the Lord to give us a desire to study His word.  On our list of goals for the new year, let’s place at the top “A deeper relationship with God through Bible study and prayer”.  

            Joyfully anticipate the opportunities that God will give you this year.  When you are sold out to Him and are following His guidelines in the scripture, you can “count it ALL joy” as James tell us. 

            Hide that JOY JUICE...in your heart! Study your Bible today; it’s the best instruction manual ever!
