Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Let’s face the future boldly and joyfully!
There is
one thing that we all have in common…our future is uncertain. And though we don’t know what the days ahead
may hold, we can be assured that God is willing to walk with us each step of
the way, to strengthen us when we grow weary, to give us comfort when we are
sad, and to fill us with JOY in His presence.
Do we trust Him with our future?
Often we
miss the mark of our purpose here on earth because we listen to too many
sources other than God. Our purpose is
to glorify God, to share His love and joy and to prepare for eternity! Is that
your focus? Those who have made the
greatest impact on our world are those who were most focused. The apostle Paul is
a great example of that. He single-handedly spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. His
secret….a focused life! (Rick Warren’s The Purpose-Driven Life) As he
tells us in Philippians 3:13-14 “I am focusing all my energies on this one
thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the
heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
Whether
you are a recent graduate with an uncertain future looming ahead of you or
whether you are at a stage of life in which you are striving to “finish the
race well”, each of us should stay focused on God’s purpose for our lives. That is the key to building an eternal
legacy….a Legacy of Joy!
Let’s pray for our friends and loved ones as we all seek God’s joyful
purpose.
