Have you had your JOY JUICE
today? What are you waiting on? Go ahead and drink in the JOY of the Lord!
Most of us
would agree that sometimes it’s really hard to wait! Who likes to wait in long lines? We certainly
don’t like to wait long to be served in a restaurant because we’ve come there
hungry! Children think Christmas or their birthday will NEVER get here! Waiting is hard…especially when you are
looking forward to something.
What about
waiting on God to answer your prayers?
That can get really challenging! Some people pray for something for
years…and it seems that God isn’t listening to these heart-felt requests. Some people give up on God—thinking that He
will never answer that prayer. Charles
Stanley writes in his book, Waiting on God, that
”the only ‘never’ you should focus on is that God will never let you down. Whatever
it is you yearn for—no matter how long you have to wait—you can trust the
Father to lead you and know for absolute certain that He has your very best
interest in mind. The key is to remember
WHOM it is that you’re really
anticipating.”
Deuteronomy
31:6 (NIV) says, “ Be strong and courageous. Do
not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he
will never leave you nor forsake you.”
