Refreshing Joy



           Have you had your Joy Juice today?  It’s always refreshing!

            Even in the challenges of life, we can have JOY in the Lord. We’ve discussed this week how important it is to have a relationship with Jesus, to trust Him to catch us when life’s rug is jerked out from under us.  Not one of us knows for certain what the future holds, but we DO know WHO is there to help us now…and in the future.  Let’s remember how much God loves us and that it’s our choice whether to stay plugged in to the true Source of joy….JESUS!

            Often times we forget to extend God’s grace to others.  We find ourselves reacting in anger or in selfishness.  At times we allow hateful words to escape our lips before we even think.  And once those words are out, they can never be taken back.

            How can we make wise, Godly choices that build up and edify the people around us?  That’s what most of us really would like to do!  Have you figured out that we can’t do it alone? Thank goodness, God is always there and we can count on Him.  Let’s stay “prayed up” so that we will have the boldness to face each new day and make wise choices, full of grace.

           Pray upon waking;  pray as you crawl out of bed, as you ready yourself for the day;  pray as you drive or ride; pray without ceasing, as the Bible instructs. (1 Thess. 5:17) When we pray about everything, God will lead us to make better choices….choices that will glorify Him, as well as bring joy into the lives of our family members, friends and acquaintances. 

                        Drink that Joy Juice and pray for God to give you wisdom in how to share His joy with others!
