Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Expect a
special serving of joy as you face the “unexpected”.
Not one of
us knows the future…which can be a really good
thing in lots of ways! If we knew the future, we may not see the need to
trust God. We could simply trust in our
own plans and provisions. If we knew the
future, we may become anxious about what we’re going to have to face and worry
about how we can survive. When the
future is uncertain, we have many more reasons to trust God to lead the way.
A few weeks
ago Hurricane Florence caused much devastation.
Though storm trackers and weather experts predicted her path and
possible effects, the truth is that no one knew exactly where she would go and
how she would behave. Many people heeded the warnings and evacuated to safe
places, therefore many lives were saved. It pays to be prepared in situations
like this.
How can we
be prepared for the unexpected…spiritually speaking? We need to remember Psalm
119:11: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Reading, studying, memorizing, meditating on
God’s Word prepares us for whatever comes in the days ahead. As Christians, we
must be so familiar with the Truth, that we can boldy face the future ...even
if that includes sickness, loss or grief. Trusting God by knowing His promises
brings a peaceful joy like no other.
Let’s prepare our hearts for the unexpected
by joyfully trusting in God’s promises.
