Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Forming a good habit of drinking it daily is
a sure way to focus on a life of JOY!
Developing
good habits is not really that hard to do….it’s just making up our minds to do
it! The Greek Philosopher, Aristotle,
said: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but
a habit.”
Think about
the habits that you’ve developed over the years…good habits like brushing your
teeth and bathing every day; bad habits like eating that unhealthy snack every
afternoon and watching too much tv! Our days are filled with habitual
behaviors….some good and some not. But
the fact is…We choose our habits!
Have you
ever thought to pray about your habits?
Prayer, itself, is a good habit; one of the best I know! We can rely on God to fill us with wisdom and
JOY. In Proverbs 4:11, God promises: “I
will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.”
That seems
so simple, doesn’t it? But we are in a
battle because our enemy is out to destroy those good, Godly habits by tempting
us in our weak areas. 1 Peter 5: 8 – 9
warns: “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for
someone to devour. Resist him, standing
firm in the faith…”
Standing firm
in our faith is a wonderful habit that is imperative for us to develop if we
want to walk in His ways…joyfully!
Let’s
all develop a JOYful habit of drinking and sharing the JOY JUICE of JESUS!
A great reminder.
