A Daily Walk in JOY



          Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  You don’t have to wait until a special occasion, you know!

             Our daily walk tells a lot about our faith.  Are we consistently striving toward growing in our walk with God….or are we sporadic and inconsistent with our Bible reading, prayer time and reaching out to others. Are our words kind and encouraging?  Do we stay out of places of temptation?  When others see you, do they see a joyful Christian who loves the Lord and praises Him, regardless of the circumstances?

            There are those who pin on their “I’m a Christian” corsage or carry a beautiful bouquet of spiritual clichés to use when the time is right; but when temptation, trials or testing comes---they don’t have the genuine faith to make Godly choices.  They fall prey to Satan’s trap. It may be giving in to peer pressure; letting pride rule their decisions; or getting caught in the trap of materialism--- wanting more, more, more…

            Our Joy Juice devotionals this week have challenged us to grow into thriving JOYful Christians who bloom where-ever we are planted.  May we become beautiful specimens of His love that will attract others to our Creator.  Let’s live expectantly….looking for the many blossoms of JOY that God has planted along our path.  May each of us strive to live an authentic, genuine Christian “walk” that always matches the “talk” that comes from our lips and heart.

            2 Corinthians 2:14   “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.”

          Don’t wait for a special occasion to enjoy the sweet fragrance of His JOY.
