Heavenly, JOYful Blessings



           Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  You’ll be blessed by drinking in a huge serving of His JOY!

            God continues to pour out His blessings on us, doesn’t He?  However, many times we miss them because we are consumed with our problems and distractions.  Often we’re so busy that we are oblivious to His goodness and graciousness.  Ephesians 1:3: says:  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” (NIV)

            In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he explains the wonderful things that we have received through Christ.  He says that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing IN CHRIST.  Does this mean that we will never have tough times or problems?  NO!   But when we do go through the difficult times, we can face those challenges knowing that we have the blessing of God’s strength and wisdom and comfort.

            If we choose to depend on Him, we have to look beyond the mountain of crisis and let Him carry us through to the other side. The scary part is that we can’t see what’s on the other side…and we have to move forward in obedient faith.   Many times God requires us to defy human logic and reason.  But in Isaiah 55:8 He reminds us: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.

            Allow Jesus to carry your burdens and watch Him pour out His blessings of love, compassion and JOY.  Be blessed by trusting in Jesus (even when you don’t understand). And drink your JOY JUICE faithfully!
