Plug Into the Power Source and Be Filled with Joy

                Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  When we feel weak, let’s remember that the joy of the Lord is our ultimate power source. 

 In Ephesians 1:18-19 (KJV) Paul prays these words: ^“ The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,”

         Who can have that “mighty power”?  Those who believe! Paul clearly states that this exceeding greatness of his power is available to ALL believers.

                Priscilla Shirer uses a great illustration in her book “He Speaks to Me”.  “If your house is in need of a good vacuuming, you must have two things: the power of a working vacuum cleaner and the energy to physically get up and push it across the floor.  To live a sanctified life, you must have two things: the power to do what God has called you to do and the energy to get up and use the power you have.”

                What has God called you to do?  Do you feel inadequate, limited, even powerless to get it done?  The wonderful news is that we don’t have to depend on our strength.  If God calls us to a task, He is more than able to fill us with His “mighty power” to accomplish it.  And ….an added bonus is that when we allow Him to work through us, we’ll be filled with inexpressible JOY!

                Let’s plug into our Power Source and get ready to be filled.
