Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? So often when
we pray, we forget that it’s not just about talking to God….It’s just as much
about LISTENING.
Sincere, genuine prayer comes from a heart
that desires for God to reveal His best plan for us in all circumstances. How can we determine that “best plan”? By taking it to Him in prayer and listening
for His direction.
In the
Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:7, Jesus taught, “Ask, and it will be given you;
seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” In our
fast- paced society, we like to have answers quickly! But God doesn’t work on OUR timetable. We must learn to trust Him for His timing in
our lives, as well as His plan and His purpose.
God loves
us more than we will ever be able to comprehend and He’s waiting for us to come
to Him with the needs and concerns that are on our heart. “He gives us, in essence, an open door into
his almighty presence,” says David Jeremiah, “and into His infinite storehouse
of riches and blessings.”
So remember
to ASK, SEEK, KNOCK and the door will be opened. That’s what prayer is all about! Pray, and learn to listen for God’s direction
toward JOY in your life!
May we daily ASK for wisdom, SEEK His plan and KNOCK on the door of
His heart to receive unspeakable, indescribable JOY in the Lord!
