Wear Your SONscreen and Drink Your JOY JUICE

          Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  To combat the summer heat, you need to make sure you keep plenty on hand!

            We’re talking this week about how to survive the hot summer days!  Of course, we want to stay hydrated by drinking of plenty of water.  And according to the American Academy of Dermatology, everyone….all skin types should wear sunscreen year round! More than 1 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States every year.  

            Just as we need to protect our physical bodies, we should be diligent in our spiritual lives to make sure we are using sunscreen….S-O-N-screen, that is.  The SON of God, Jesus, is ready for us to “put him on” every day (as Paul reminds us in Galatians 3:27).  We should slather on a generous portion to protect our minds from evil thoughts, to prevent our tongues from uttering burning words and our actions from causing pain to others.  The SONscreen of Jesus includes an attitude of humility, service and love.

            Even on those days when it appears that everything is “cool”, we should faithfully apply this SONscreen to every area of our lives.  It will prevent the cancers of bitterness, jealously, resentment and hatred.  Your life will have a healthy glow because of the JOY that will radiating from you because of your faithful application of the “Jesus” brand of SONscreen.

            Let’s remember to get into the habit of always wearing our SONscreen and drinking the JOY JUICE of Jesus!
