Have you had your JOY JUICE today? That’s exactly what you need to make certain
that your day is outrageously joyful!
Do you ever
find yourself feeling overwhelmed and stressed even before your day gets
started? I have a suggestion for you
this morning. Let’s make up our minds
from the get-go that no matter what happens today, we’re going to “count it all
joy”.
As I so
often refer to the passage in James 1:2:
“Count it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trails of many
kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not
lacking anything.”
When we get to
a point in our lives that we are spiritually mature enough to accept whatever
God brings or allows to happen, then we will be able to face each new day with
an OUTRAGEOUS joy because of our faith and confidence in Him. Do
you realize that God cares more about our joy than we often do? It’s for that reason that he does not leave
us alone in our misery. According to author Lydia Brownback, “God orchestrates for us and in us the
humility we need in order to see that God is a kind Father and compassionate
friend who allows hard situations into our lives so that he can show us our
need for grace and deepen our relationship with him. Such humility is necessary in order to count it all joy.”
You can choose to have an
OUTRAGEOUS day of JOY in the LORD by putting your complete trust in Him!
