May Your Heart "Leap for Joy"

               Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’s especially important to make sure you faithfully drink in the joy of the Lord!  Why? Because it fills you with His strength.

                Some days we need extra strength!  It may be due to the busyness of our schedule, exhaustion from running so hard for days on end, or it may be a tough situation that we’re facing.  But the fact is, we all need extra strength from time to time….sometimes it’s physical, sometimes mental and sometimes emotional or spiritual.

                We can always go to God for renewal, refreshment and extra spiritual strength!  Over and over again in God’s Word we’re told of the well from which we can draw strength and joy.  In Psalm 28:7 we are reminded: “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.”

That one verse is power-packed! It reminds us WHO give us strength. 

Where is our strength?

·         In the Lord because He protects and shields us.

·         In our heart as we trust in Him completely. 

·         In the knowledge that He will help us in our times of need.

·         In a heart of joy and gratitude, praising Him for WHO HE is!

                 My prayer today is that your heart and mine will leap for joy as we call upon the Lord to fill us with His strength!
