Be Still....and know the JOY of JESUS!



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  BE STILL….and know that I am God,” Psalm 46:10 says.   Many of us find that the only time we’re really “still” is when we’re asleep! And we’re probably running in our dreams!  Being still is an important part of our spiritual growth process.

             An intimate relationship with God requires quiet time spent alone with God.  Church attendance is wonderful and certainly should be a part of every Christian’s life, but one-on-one time with Him is how we develop a deep, abiding relationship.

            Many years ago when my husband and I were dating, we would spend time together to “get to know one another”.  If we had not been intentional about making that time for one another, we may have never fallen in love.  Now, after 41 years of marriage, we enjoy a deep, personal relationship. Even more so with God, we need to be intentional about spending time in His presence, reading the Bible and communicating with Him in prayer.

            I encourage you today to fall in love with Jesus. Put away the distractions and focus on Him.   BE STILL….and know that He is God.  You’ll soon have that joyful glow about you that can only come from “being in love” with Jesus!

Listen to God in those still quiet moments as He whispers His promises of love straight into your heart!  His love and JOY go hand in hand, so enjoy both today!
