Have you had your Joy Juice today? Join Jesus and serve with
joy!
If you have read Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing
God, you may remember that he tells us that “Jesus watched to see where
the Father was at work and joined Him there.”
According to John 5:19, “the Son did only what he saw his Father
doing.”
So often,
we make our plans without consulting God, don’t we? We come up with a great idea, program or
project and we expect God just to come along with us…without considering that
His plan may not be anything like ours. We need to “watch and see where God is
working and join Him there.” This
involves prayer and discernment.
When we
join God where He is already at work, author Joanna Weaver says: “Service becomes a delight rather than a
distraction. It becomes a natural overflow of our relationship with God rather
than one more duty to keep us from what we really want to do.”
Let’s ask
God to show us where He is at work…and then, let’s willingly (& joyously)
join Him there. Let’s pray that He will open the eyes of our hearts so that we
will be able to recognize those “divine appointments” that He will bring to us,
day by day. If we are willing to be His
vessel, He will show us what to do and when to do it….as well as give us a
JOYFUL spirit as we serve.
Spread the joy of the
Lord by joining God where He is already at work…and let’s serve with a joyful
heart!
