Have you had your Joy Juice today? There’s plenty to be found in the pages of
God’s Word.
Do you find time to read the Bible every day? That’s a great habit! Some
people choose the early mornings for their quiet time. Others are not early risers, so they find
time later in the day. Night-owls may choose to read God’s Word before they go
to bed at night. No matter when you find
the time, the important thing is that you FIND THE TIME.
When I
read, my spiritual radar is tuned in to the verses that refer to JOY and
REJOICING and GLADNESS. It’s amazing how
often those words can be found in scripture.
Recently I was reading in the 15th chapter of
Proverbs. In that one chapter alone I
spotted five verses that deal with joy and cheer.
Verse
13 says: “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the
spirit.”
The “happy heart” this verse is referring
to is the joyful heart that comes
from having a relationship with God. A heart of genuine joy is a grateful
heart because it holds the JOY of knowing that NO MATTER how much difficulty comes
our way, threatening to crush our
spirit, our Father God is our constant companion.
Drink
your Joy Juice continually so that it will seep into your heart and bring comforting joy, regardless of your circumstances.
