Make JOY-filled, Godly Choices



             Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s always refreshing!

            This week we’ve focused on how to have the JOY of the Lord regardless of what’s going on in our life.  We’ve discussed how important it is to have a relationship with Jesus and trust Him to catch us when life’s rug is jerked out from under us.  It’s for certain that we don’t know what the future holds, but we DO know WHO is there to help us now and in the future.  We’ve also been reminded that our precious children are gifts from God and that we should extend GRACE to our family members. 

            These truths are so important when it comes to having JOY in our lives, but many times we lose sight of them. We find ourselves reacting in anger or in selfishness.  At times we allow hateful words to escape our lips before we even think.  And once those words are out, they can never be taken back.

            How can we make wise, Godly choices that build up and edify the people around us?  That’s what most of us really would like to do!  Have you figured out that we can’t do it alone? Thank goodness, God is always there and we can count on Him.  Let’s stay “prayed up” so that we will have the boldness to face each new day and make wise choices.

       Pray upon waking;  pray as you crawl out of bed, as you brush your teeth and ready yourself for the day; pray as you drive or ride; pray without ceasing, as the Bible instructs.  When we pray about everything, God will lead us to make better choices….choices that will glorify Him, as well as bring JOY into the lives of our family members, friends and acquaintances. 

        Drink that JOY JUICE and pray for God to give you wisdom in how to share His JOY!
