Have you
had your Joy Juice today? If we have a continual
diet of God’s peace and joy, our lives will indeed be full!
Proverbs
17:22 tells us: “A cheerful heart is
good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
When we have joy in
our hearts, it can’t help but spill out onto those who are around us. We bring
the medicine of cheerfulness, not because every situation is great, but because
God is greater than any situation. Our joy is renewed as we stay in the
presence of God through prayer and Bible study. The key to having a joyful
heart is to keep our minds stayed on God and His grace over our lives.*
Another
treasure that we want to have in our hearts is peace! Philippians 4:7 says:
“And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
One of the sweetest joy-gifts we can
receive as a believer in Jesus Christ is the peace that rises above every life
situation. While others are fretting with
worry, believers have the power of the Holy Spirit to guard their hearts and
minds with peace that has no human explanation. Having peace allows believers
to continue to go through hardship and painful situations without regret. The
key to having peace in our hearts is surrendering all our prayers to God and
trusting in Him to take care of each one.*
Fill your heart with God’s peace and joy.
