Have you had you Joy Juice today? When you find yourself fretting, look to
Jesus for a calming portion of His joy.
Priscilla
Shirer writes: “Worry is not only fruitless, but it steals our joy and jams our
radar, keeping us from receiving the answers we need.” What a powerful reminder! Worrying doesn’t
help a thing! It only makes us anxious and give the devil a foothold in our
lives. It blocks our communication with
God, and siphons the joy right out of our heart.
Do you
believe in the truth of Scripture? God’s
Word is infallible! And there are many verses in the Bible that tell us not to
worry and fret. Philippians 4:6 plainly
instructs: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
When we
choose to pray rather than pout; when we decide to release rather than
reposition our grip; when we praise the Lord for His goodness, instead of
pointing out our problems…than we can “rejoice in the LORD, always!”
Let’s
not be held captive by worry and anxiety. Release those past mistakes, ask for
forgiveness and the strength to make wise choices. God will go with you every step of the way,
so there is no reason to fret—and the best reason to be joyful.
Extinguish the fire of worry by splashing it with the Joy Juice of
Jesus!
