Have
you had your JOY JUICE today? If you
have a busy day planned, don’t worry, your Joy Juice will sustain you and give
you strength… IF you’re drinking it faithfully!!
Often we
seem to find ourselves racing through our days. We get up, go to work, take care of our daily
responsibilities, run errands, attend meetings, come home, fall into bed
exhausted…and then get up and do it all again the next day. Many of us try to
pack waaaaay too much into our days!
We
could all benefit from remembering that there are many good things that we can
choose to do, but God’s BEST is truly best.
We are instructed to do everything “as unto the Lord”. But when we are consumed with our work &
busyness at the expense of neglecting our personal relationship with Him, then
we’re too busy.
There
always seems to be plenty to do and not enough time to rest. Yet God demonstrated that rest is appropriate
and right. Genesis tells us that on the
seventh day, God rested. He didn’t do
this because He was tired. He was
setting an example for us! Our times of
rest refresh us for times of SERVICE.
Take
the time to assess your busy schedule.
Ask God to show you the difference between good and His best! When we are in the center of His will, He will
guide and equip us. As Isaiah 40:31
says: “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” And renewed strength brings much JOY!
Put some pep in your step by
drinking in and sharing the joy of the Lord.
