The Joy of the Lord IS Our Strength!



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  People who have a steady diet of Joy Juice are healthier…so drink up!

            It has been documented that people who laugh a lot and have a positive, joyful attitude live longer than those who don’t.  Researchers tell us that our physical, spiritual and emotional health varies according to the amount of laughter in our lives!  I guess we could say that laughter is a “tranquilizer with no bad side effects”… a multi-vitamin chocked full of benefits! 

            Nehemiah 8:10 tells us that JOY makes us strong!  “The joy of the Lord is your strength!"
  His JOY in us will produce His strength through us.  Our friend, Mary Southerland says: “A life without joy is like a car without shock absorbers. It will be jolted by every bump in the road.  Laughter and joy are the shock absorbers of life and can radically change our perspective....”

            Christian friends are a great source of joy and strength. That’s a good reason to surround ourselves with brothers and sisters in Christ.   Because of our love for the Lord and for each other, we can face the tough days…as well as the good ones.  We can laugh together, cry together, pray together, support one another….and experience a joy beyond description because…that joy is from Him.  Indeed, “the joy of the Lord is our strength!”

            Face the day with a joyful attitude and be ready to share a smile and laugh with those God brings along your path today!
