Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Don’t let anything distract you from drinking
it in!
We all have
distractions in our lives…things that keep us from accomplishing what we set
out to do for the day. Many of us really
intend to start the day with a quiet time of Bible reading and prayer, but as
soon as we crawl out of bed, the distractions begin! Our family needs us, the
phone rings, we have an early appointment….one thing after another pulls us in
countless directions.
John
Maxwell writes that “you can make every day of your life a masterpiece”! He
says that there are two ingredients necessary to make every day count:
Decisions and Discipline. They can’t be separated because one is worthless
without the other!
Here’s the
formula that he says works:
·
Good Decisions – Daily Discipline = A Plan
without a Payoff.
·
Daily
Discipline – Good Decisions= Regimentation without Reward.
·
But Good Decisions + Daily Discipline = A
Masterpiece of Potential.
Let’s make
a good decision to allow God to be in control of every part of each day and
then be disciplined to practice the JOY of the Lord in all circumstances. When we learn to live each day in the center
of His will, we will tap into that Masterpiece of JOYful potential that the
Lord intends for each of us.
Beware of any distractions that may keep you from enjoying
this beautiful day that the Lord has made.
Let us determine to REJOICE and be glad in it!
