Let God "Service" Your Heart with His Oil of Joy



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Whether you drive a brand new sports car or a run-down jalopy, God’s serving of joy can taste just as sweet!

            There are many different types of cars we can choose to drive.  And there are similarities and differences among them. Every car has a motor, wheels, bumpers and windows…as well as many other things that a “girl” like me would know nothing about.  I do know that you have to turn the ignition to start the car; and that you move your steering wheel to the right or left when you want to turn. Brakes help you stop and lights help you to see. Those are the kinds of things that are the same about all vehicles.  But what about the differences?  Color, size, style, speed, design, make, cost, etc. etc…

            People also come in different sizes and styles….but we all are made by the same “Designer”.  God has given us an owner’s manual (Bible) that He wants us to read consistently.  Daily wear and tear can damage us.  Just because we’re still “running” and things look okay on the outside, does not necessarily mean that everything is good on the inside. 1 Samuel 16:7 says:  “The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

          Just as a car needs servicing,  we, too, need to keep our lives running smoothly by allowing God to do daily inspections. Allow Him to use His Oil of Joy to lubricate all the places that need His special touch.
