Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? It may be just
the thing to boost your energy level!
Many of us
try to pack so many things into our days that by the time the sun goes down,
we are physically exhausted! There are
those who truly do have health issues that sap their energy and make them weak,
but many of us just don’t make wise choices.
We overbook and over-extend ourselves---misjudging what we can
realistically get done in one day’s time. It’s as if we expect ourselves to be
superman or superwoman!
When we are weary and tired, every area
of our life is affected! Our patience
runs thin with our family and we find ourselves "snapping" instead of responding
to them in love. Our thought process
slows down and we can’t seem to make good decisions. Sometimes physical exhaustion leads to a
breakdown in our health and we catch illnesses because of a weakened immune
system.
May I
suggest that we all have a large daily serving of that “booster” I like to call
JOY JUICE? Nehemiah 8:10 tells us that
“The JOY of the Lord is our strength.”
We all experience times of weariness.
But God has given us His Word which, when applied consistently in our
lives, provides rest, renewal and strength to our hearts and minds.
So as you
look at your schedule of things to do today, make sure that Bible study and
prayer are on the top of you list.
That’s the way to assure that you will be sipping the JOY JUICE of Jesus
throughout your busy day.
Let's slow down long enough to
experience God’s JOY and the strength that He gives us when we depend on Him.
