Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Form a good habit of drinking it daily! It’s a
sure way to focus on a life of JOY!
Developing
good habits is not really that hard to do….we just have to determine in our minds
to do it! The Greek Philosopher,
Aristotle, said: “We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Think about
the habits that you’ve developed over the years…good habits like brushing your
teeth and bathing every day; bad habits like biting your fingernails or going to bed too late! Our days are filled with habitual
behaviors….some good and some bad. But
the fact is…We choose our habits!
Have you
ever thought about praying about your habits?
Prayer, itself, is a good habit; one of the best I know! We can rely on God to fill us with wisdom and
JOY…if we will get into the habit of always going to Him first! In Proverbs 4:11, God promises us: “I
will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.”
Our enemy is
out to destroy those good, Godly habits by tempting us in our weak areas. 1 Peter 5: 8 – 9 warns: “Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith…”
Standing firm
in our faith is an excellent habit! And it’s an imperative habit if we want to
walk in His ways. With God’s help we can practice His wisdom and JOY until it
becomes a natural part of our life.
Let’s
all develop a JOYful habit of drinking and sharing the JOY JUICE of JESUS!
