Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’s concentrated with ingredients which
bring wisdom and joy to your life!
Wisdom and
joy! Those are two attributes that many
of us desire. But do we truly understand
the importance of having those two characteristics as a “pair”? Let’s focus on what they mean……
“Spiritual wisdom is the capacity to see
things from God’s viewpoint.” (Charles Stanley) And spiritual JOY is the calm
assurance that God has everything under control, regardless of how “out of
control” things appear. When you have a
personal relationship with Jesus, you can trust Him, rest in His promises and
“be still and know that He is God”. PERIOD! End of explanation.
Yes, it
takes faith, a consistent prayer life; and we must stay saturated with
scripture to fill in the gaps when doubt begins to creep into our
thoughts. Listening to unwise, ungodly
counselors can sometimes confuse us…if we are not “standing on the promises of
God”, as the old hymn proclaims.
Let’s keep
in mind that wisdom and knowledge are not the same….just as joy and happiness are not the same.
Wisdom comes from the LORD; and joy comes from a personal relationship
with the LORD! May we desire to have
both of these Godly attributes in our lives by allowing God to have complete
control of every area. The path to wisdom: 1 Thess. 5:16-18…. “Be joyful always; pray continually; give
thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in
Christ Jesus.”
My prayer today is for the joy and wisdom of God to be
poured out into your life!
