Have you
had your Joy Juice today? It’s a great
way to start the New Year!
Happy New
Year! Not one of us knows what this year will bring. Hopefully, we’ll have many happy times,
filled with laughter and joy. Odds are,
we will experience some tough times, too.
Some “bumps in the road” and difficult times when we are stressed and
stretched.
Regardless
of what the new year brings, we’ll get through the hard times much better if
we’ll rely on the Lord and ask for His guidance. If you’ve not already done so, a good New
Year’s resolution would be to lean more heavily on God and less on
yourself. Listen to the words of the Psalmist
in Psalm 119:33-37.
"Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the
end.
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my
heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to
your word."
Let’s
determine to be diligent about making this our prayer throughout the new year.
We might be amazed by the difference it will make in our lives. The closer we
are to God, the sweeter that JOY becomes.
I'm praying that God will give you abundant joy
in this new year, 2018, as you grow in relationship with Him.
