A Joyful Journey



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  You don’t have to use caution when drinking in the JOY of Jesus!

            As we travel, we will see road signs that warn us of upcoming danger spots: “Sharp Curve Ahead”, “Men Working”, “Soft Shoulder”, “Dangerous Intersection”.  If we heed the signs and drive carefully…we’ll get through the rough places safely.

            Isn’t that what God wants us to do on the pathway of life?  Heed His warning signs?  In Romans 16:17 – 19 Paul tells it like it is: “I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.  Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.”  

            Though Paul was writing to the Christians in Rome many years ago, God’s warning is just as significant for us today.  We need to watch out for those who cause divisions and dissention among us.  Our God is a God of peace and JOY.  We are warned not be fooled by smooth talkers and flattery, but stay true to what the Bible teaches; be obedient to His signs and always use caution .

             Let’s look for God’s road signs for a JOYful journey with Him!
