Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Do you understand WHY you’re to drink it? Many times
we don’t understand the “whys”….Why that terrible thing happened to such good
people.
Dr. James
Dobson has written a book entitled When God Doesn’t Make Sense.
In his book, he uses Abraham as an
illustration of a time when God didn’t make sense. Abraham and Sarah were
infertile, but God had promised Abraham that his descendants would be more than
the stars in the sky. So Abraham trusted God, and God proved true by giving
them a son even in their old age. Then, when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his
son, Abraham again trusted Him and followed God’s instruction. Even when all
the facts before him didn’t make sense, God simply asked Abraham to not waver…
To put his trust in God’s promise.
When everything in life is shaken, and makes
no sense to us, God wants us to hold onto Him – to hold onto the promise that
He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 3:5). To hold onto the promise that He knows
the plans He has for us – plans to prosper us, not to harm us, plans to give us
hope and future (Jeremiah 29:11).
You see, sometimes we have to
PRACTICE JOY, even when we’re hurting, even when we don’t understand the
“whys”.
Drink your JOY JUICE faithfully and share a double
of portion of that JOY even when things don’t make sense!
