Drink In His Quiet Joy

            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  God desires for us all to have our daily portion!

How do we find that joy that we desire but sometimes seems so elusive?  The more I study, the more I am convinced that genuine JOY is one sure sign of the presence of God in a person’s life. And that can be a quiet joy….so unlike what the world defines. 

                Author Bruce Larson says that “if God really is the center of one’s life and being, joy is inevitable.  If we have no joy, we have missed the heart of the Good News and our bodies, as much as our souls, will suffer the consequences.” (Swindoll’s Book of Quotes)

                JOY is the “enjoyment” of God.   We live in such a fast-paced society that days go by and we may realize that we haven’t even stopped to pray, much less read from God’s Word.  How can we enjoy a relationship with God if we never find time to be with Him?

                To experience true joy, we need to slow down and enjoy being with God consistently.   Psalm 46:10 reminds us to “Be still and know that I am God.” It brings Him great joy when we come into His presence.  And it will fill us with JOY, as well.

  Drink in His quiet joy by allowing God to be the center of your life!  Your portion is always available!
