Have
you had your JOY JUICE today? Be
sensitive to those who may need some extra joy!
When you put on your “joy glasses” and
look at the world through the eyes of Jesus, you will become more and more
aware of the “divine appointments” God has scheduled. In the
Bible we can read many examples of these kinds of meetings. For example, in Acts, Chapter 8, Philip was
in a place where things were really “popping”!
There was a definite moving of the Holy Spirit….yet---God called him to
leave there and go to the desert! (This
is one of those times that it appeared God was not making sense!)
But GOD
KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING! And thankfully,
Philip trusted Him enough to go. You
see, there in the desert, he would encounter his “divine appointment” with an
important Ethiopian man. God was already
preparing the man’s heart for this appointment, as well. The Ethiopian was sitting in his chariot, reading Isaiah 53,
which is the prophecy about the sufferings of the Messiah, Jesus.
God guided
Philip to approach the chariot and begin a conversation with this man. He began by asking, “Do you understand what
you are reading?” That opened the door
for Philip to be invited into the chariot and to share the “GOOD NEWS”! The Ethiopian believed and was baptized!
Just as God
used Philip, He can use you and me….if we are willing. That “stranger”--- that just happens to come
into your life today--- may be your “divine appointment”. Be sensitive to God’s leading and share the
JOY of the Lord with friends and strangers alike!
Drink your JOY JUICE faithfully,
so that you will be overflowing with His joy and sensitive to every divine
appointment God has for you!
