A Joyful Future is Ours with Christ



             Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  God has a purpose for us drinking in the JOY of the Lord.

            During graduation season, young people everywhere are wondering about their future.  Though they can’t see what’s ahead, many of them are hopeful and optimistic that great things are to come.  Some are apprehensive and question what their purpose is and what career path they should choose.  Still others are content to just drift along with no goals or plans.

            Regardless of our age or stage of life, we need to realize that God does have a plan and a purpose for each of our lives.  He is our source of wisdom. To discover our purpose, it is imperative that we look to God’s Word rather than the world’s way to wisdom.

            Ephesians 1:11-12 in the Message Bible says it plainly: “It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.”

            Do you know your purpose?  Seek God’s wisdom by studying His word, by listening as you pray and striving to build your life on eternal truths. Trust that

  • Through relationship with Jesus you can discover your identity and purpose.
  • Before you even existed, He had your purpose planned.
  • Your individual purpose is a part of a much larger plan…God’s plan that He has designed for eternity!

            What JOY is ours when we accept those truths and face each day, expectantly!

             Look forward to a joyful future with Christ as your guide!
