Filled with Hope and Joy



                Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  You will notice a remarkable difference when you start your day with a great big serving!

                How many of us begin our day tired… with our “wagon draggin”?  Often we need something besides coffee to perk us up and give us an energy boost.   I’ve got just the remedy…..it’s called…you guessed it…. JOY JUICE flavored with HOPE!

                Isaiah 40: 31 tells us that “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

                Do you know what I’ve discovered?  When I’m exhausted, often it’s because I’ve been busy with things that are not truly God’s best for me!  A hard day’s work is not nearly as grueling if it’s what God has instructed us to do…and if our HOPE and trust are in Him.  Many times we try to handle our problems in our own strength and our energy level is sapped!  What we need to remember is that we don’t EVER have to handle things by ourselves.  God is ALWAYS near and ready….Our hope should remain in Him.

                Hoping in the Lord simply means expecting that His promise of strength will help us to rise above life’s distractions and difficulties.  It’s trusting in God.  

                If you are finding yourself weary and tired more often than not, please reach for a serving of  HOPE ….it tastes very similar to concentrated JOY JUICE!

Stay hydrated and filled with the joy of Jesus.
