Have
you had your JOY JUICE today? I know
you’re really busy, but you won’t be sorry if you take a few minutes to drink
in the JOY of the Lord!
We all have
countless duties and responsibilities to our families, our jobs, even our
churches. Often we are so busy doing
good things, that we may miss God’s best.
I love
to use Priscilla Shirer’s words to explain this concept. In her book, He Speaks to Me, she writes:
“Maybe we need to cease some of our activity and hush the noise in our lives so
that we can clearly discern what our Father wants to say.” She refers to John 6 where Jesus fed the five
thousand. The people had listened to Jesus
teach all day. He realized that they
were hungry. In verse 10, Jesus said,
“Have the people sit down.”
He distributed the food to those who
were seated. You see, until we
“take a seat” and let go of our frantic activity, He will not fill us. We often miss out on His blessings because we
just won’t BE STILL! So… let’s sit down, my friend, and allow God to fill us. He prepares fresh batches of joy for each of
us…daily.
Take a seat and drink your
portion of Joy Juice! When you are full
of God’s joy, you’ll find it impossible not to pass it along to others!
