Have you had your JOY JUICE today? And as you sip on that
JOY JUICE this morning, are you perhaps praying?
Author R.A.
Torrey reminds us that prayer is one of
the most highly esteemed privileges of life. He confesses that before he began to view
prayer in this way, he found himself thinking, “How much time must I spend in prayer?” But
now he thinks: “How much time may
I spend in prayer without neglecting the other (responsibilities) of life?”
Talk about
a change of perspective! How do you view
prayer…as another task on your “list of things all good Christians should
do”? Or do you see it as a gift? Is it a duty that you must perform and check
off your “to do” list? Or do you understand that prayer is, indeed, one of the
highest privileges that we can ever have?
Take
advantage of that privilege often….the Bible teaches us to “pray without
ceasing”! “Pray continually.” That means to stay in a spirit of prayer. Why? Because as Psalm 145: 18 says: “The
Lord is near to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth.” I urge you to call upon the Lord
today…no matter what your situation. He
is listening and will JOYfully come near to you!
As you sip your JOY JUICE
today, why not thank the Lord for the serving He generously pours out into your
life? Then, get ready to share His love
and JOY with others!
