Have you had
your JOY JUICE today? Even if you going
through a troubling time, keep drinking your JOY JUICE….regardless!
Do you know
what often happens when we focus on our problems rather than keeping our eyes on
Jesus? We forget to drink our JOY JUICE
and try to take matters into our own hands.
Sometimes God doesn’t move fast enough for us and we give up on Him…..and
even get angry with Him!
Many people
think that expressing faith in God should protect them from trouble, so when
calamity comes, they question God’s goodness and justice. That’s when we need to go to the book of Job
and read about all the challenges he went through….but never once did he forsake
His faith.
“The message of Job is that we should not
give up on God…especially in the midst of difficult circumstances. Faith in God does not guarantee personal
prosperity, just as lack of faith does not guarantee troubles.” (Footnote Life Ap. Bible)
Some things
we will never understand. Instead of panicking and trying to fix things, let’s
do as the verse in Proverbs 3:5 says: “Trust
in the Lord with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.”
When we put
our complete trust in Him, we can joyfully face each new day knowing that He is
in control. The “whys” won’t matter so
much, because we can rest in His plan.
Let’s start now by releasing our worries and practicing JOY in ALL
things.
Drink your JOY JUICE faithfully….even when you
don’t understand WHY!
