Be An "On Duty" Joyful Christian




            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Whether you are at work or play, your special serving of joy is awaiting you!

            This past Monday was Labor Day, honoring those in the work force. Each of us has responsibilities and obligations. The important thing is that we each work, to do our part to make the world a better place.  

            Christians are “on duty” no matter what day it is or what time.  As representatives of Christ, we should never “clock out”. We are called to carry his banner---round the clock, every minute of every day….weekdays, weekends, holidays…EVERY DAY! And it’s not always easy, is it?  Life is a battle.  That’s why we are referred to as “soldiers” of God’s army. 

            Let’s remember that though we are all fighting battles, we are not going to fight them in the same way.  God has given each of us personalities and skills to use differently; so when we are tempted to judge or criticize someone else’s handling of a situation, maybe we should be reminded that is not our job!  It’s God’s! He is big enough, bold enough and powerful enough to handle every situation.  

            The only person I truly have the right to critique is myself. Sometimes we don’t see our own faults. And then sometimes, we are too hard on ourselves. In regard to the “work” that God has called us to do, let’s be aware that we can make a difference…where-ever God has placed us.    
  
            Serve God by offering others big servings of His joy!
