Be Filled with Joy



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  May our thoughts, our actions and our words be filled with joy as we go along our way each and every day!

            One sure way to experience more genuine joy in our lives is to continually recognize and give thanks for our many blessings.  Let’s memorize the beautiful scripture passage in Psalm 126: 2-3 that says: “Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.  Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

            Though our circumstances are not always going to be “filled with joy”…our hearts can be.  When we focus on all that God has done…His faithfulness in the past as well as today---when we can praise Him simply because HE IS GOD, then our hearts will be filled.  A thankful heart is a joyful heart.

            When you find yourself in a dark place and you are struggling to find joy, open your Bible to the book of Psalms and find encouragement.  Listen to some good Praise & Worship music. Recall the way God has faithfully taken care of you in the past. “The Lord HAS done great things for us.”

            Strive toward a deeper relationship with the Lord by praising Him for His faithfulness and letting your heart overflow with gratitude and joy.
