Have you had your Joy Juice today? Practice drinking in the joy of the Lord every
day!
“Practice
makes perfect.” We’ve heard that throughout our lives. What we mean is…the more we practice
something, the better our skills will be.
Such as practicing a musical instrument, a sport, speaking a foreign
language. If you don’t practice, odds
are, you won’t improve.
A very
devout Christian, Brother Lawrence, lived
in the 1600’s. He is remembered for
the intimacy he expressed concerning his relationship to God. A book was compiled
after his death called The Practice of the Presence of God. That concept…of “practicing the presence of
God” is the key to living a life of joy. How do we “practice His
presence”? For starters:
- By making God our top priority.
- By committing each minute of every new day to His will.
- By loving others with the Lord of Christ.
- By applying the instruction of scripture.
Listen to this beautiful Doxology
in Jude 1:24-25
"To him who is able to
keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without
fault and with great joy— to
the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus
Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen."Let’s practice the presence of God and experience His glory with great joy!
