God's Joy-filled Promises

           Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It promises to fill your heart with inexpressible love, peace and joy.

            When you hear the word “promise”, do you associate it with something good & exciting or sad & stressful?  Many times our perception of a concept is directly related to our past experiences.  If those who were close to us honored their promises to us for the most part, then we see a promise as a “good thing”.   However, if we experienced repeated heartache due to someone in our life breaking their promises to us over and over again, then we might be cautious of anyone who makes a promise.

            Let me share some JOYful news! Each one of us can rely on the truth that GOD MAKES PROMISES and HE KEEPS THOSE PROMISES—FAITFHULLY!

Remember the words of the old hymn:

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

            No matter what your past experiences, you can trust in The One Who will never let you down.  

 2 Peter 1:4 says:  “And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.”

            The serving of JOY for today is in knowing that God has great plans for you as you will stand on His promises!
