Wisdom + Obedience = JOY



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  It’s a wise thing to do!

            Wisdom…do you desire it?  The Bible tells us, "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 1:7).

When we begin to recognize that our life is not about us but about God’s purpose – we’re on the path to wisdom. He is in control and He desires the best for His children.  Why is it, then, that many times our world seems so out of control?  Could it be because of the UNWISE choices that we humans make?  

Though God is all-powerful, He does not force us to obey.  We must surrender our will to His will, our thoughts to His thoughts, our actions to His leading.  We grow in wisdom by being a “doer of the Word”.  In the pages of our Bible, we find Godly principles which can be applied to every circumstance that comes our way.

When we do not follow God’s instructions, we will suffer the consequences…the fruit of our ways. We have a choice: we can choose God’s wisdom or we can persist in rebellious independence.  Many people decide to “do it MY way” as Frank Sinatra used to sing! When we do it “our way”, we often create problems for ourselves and allow the enemy to steal our joy. 

Don’t ignore God’s instruction---even if it seems difficult at the present.  Obedience to His leading will keep us from greater pain in the future and give us certain joy in the days to come.

 Let’s seek Godly wisdom by drinking faithfully the Joy Juice of Jesus!
