Have you had your Joy Juice today? Is there a right way or a wrong way to drink in
His JOY?
Throughout
the Bible we are given instruction about which way to go. Much wisdom can be found in the pages of God’s
Word. In Isaiah 30:21 we read:
"Whether you turn to the right or to
the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way;
walk in it.'"
Do you recognize God’s voice when He is trying to
show you the way? In this passage of scripture,
the people of Jerusalem
had left God’s path…and he had to correct them. He will do the same for us today! We must be willing to listen and follow his
voice of correction!
When Judah was prosperous and
comfortable, they wouldn't listen to God. So He allowed them to go through times
of adversity and affliction; the results---they began to hear God and be guided
by Him again. It's always better to be uncomfortable and in tune with the Lord
than to be comfy, cozy and out of step with God.
Many times
we are going to experience painful trials. But we must remember that God always acts out of love for us. Next time you go through a difficult time,
try to grow from the experience, learning what God wants to teach you. God may be showing you his love by patiently
walking with you through adversity and pointing the WAY---one step at a
time.
May we all remember that God
will show us the way to JOY….but we must be listening for His voice and willing
to follow!
