Trust and (JOYfully) Obey



          Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Trust me….it’s really good for you!

            Do you find it difficult to trust? You may, if you’ve been hurt by someone in the past.  But always remember that, in contrast to people, GOD can always be trusted.  Over and over again in the book of Psalms, the writers encourage us with verses reminding us to trust in God.

     Psalm 32: 21 says:  Our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name.” Did you get that:  Our heart shall REJOICE…why?????? Because we have TRUSTED in His Holy Name!!!!!

            And then verse 12 in chapter 2 says: “Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.”  Do you want to be BLESSED?  Do you want to experience JOY?  I certainly do!  Then, we must TRUST IN HIM!  No one can do it for us….this is a decision we must each make---individually.  Oswald Chambers writes:

"No one can tell us where the shadow of the Almighty is; we have to find it for ourselves. When by obedience we have discovered where it is, we must abide there-“ (trust God no matter what). (Bringing Sons unto Glory, 1943 by Oswald Chambers)

When we do this, the JOY of the Lord becomes our strength!

            So as the old hymn says: Trust and obey for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus…but to trust and obey!

            Drink your JOY JUICE faithfully as you trust the Lord and share His JOY with others!
