Have you had your JOY JUICE
today? Don’t let anything distract you
from drinking it!
We all
have distractions in our lives…things that keep us from accomplishing what we
set out to do for the day. Many of us
really intend to start the day with a quiet time of Bible reading and prayer,
but as soon as we crawl out of bed, the distractions begin! Our family needs
us, the phone rings, we have to be at work early….one thing after another pulls
us in countless directions.
John
Maxwell writes that “you can make every day of your life a masterpiece”! He
says that there are two ingredients necessary to make every day count: “Decisions and Discipline”. They can’t be
separated because one is worthless without the other!
He goes
on to explain that “Good Decisions – Daily Discipline = A Plan without a
Payoff. Daily Discipline – Good
Decisions= Regimentation without Reward. But Good Decisions + Daily Discipline
= A Masterpiece of Potential.”
We must
be determined to make wise choices….and with God’s help, we can make every day
count for Him. Let’s make a good
decision to allow God to be in control of each day and then be disciplined to
practice the JOY of the Lord in all circumstances. When we learn to live each day with this
mindset, we will tap into that Masterpiece of JOYful potential that the Lord
intends for each of us.
Don't let distractions keep you
from enjoying this beautiful day that the Lord has made. Let us REJOICE and be glad in it!
