Sit Down and Taste His JOY



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today? We must sit still and “taste” that the Lord is good!

            It’s true that we all have countless duties and responsibilities to our families, our jobs, even our churches.  We race through our day checking our “to do list”…and often  we are so busy doing good things, that we miss God’s best.

            Priscilla Shirer writes (in her book He Speaks to Me) : “Maybe we need to cease some of our activity and hush the noise in our lives so that we can clearly discern what our Father wants to say.”  She refers to John 6 where Jesus fed the five thousand.  The people had listened to Jesus teach all day.  He realized that they were hungry.  In verse 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”

He distributed the food to those who were seated.  You see, until we “take a seat” and let go of our frantic activity, He will not fill us.  We often miss out on His blessings because we just won’t BE STILL!

            So… Let’s sit down, my friend, and allow God to fill us. He’s got a special recipe of JOY that He wants to feed you and me….if we will “be still and know..”.

Take the time today…and everyday..to sit down before the Father and drink in His special flavor of JOY JUICE that He has made especially for you!
