HOPE in Jesus = JOY


            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  When you drink in your daily serving, your day will be filled with hope in the Lord….as well as JOY!

            I have many “favorite passages” of scripture, but one that I really love at this stage of life is found in Isaiah 40:30-31.  It says:


“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

            All of us…no matter what our age…get tired! Young, old or somewhere in between, the busyness of our days sometimes siphons our physical strength! It’s also true that when we are going through emotional turmoil, we lack energy and vitality. But did you hear what the previous verses said? 

            As Christians we have HOPE!  Hope in the Lord!  He will renew us mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually if we allow Him!  My Bible footnote explains:

Hoping in the Lord is expecting that his promise of strength will help us to rise above life’s distractions and difficulties.  Trusting helps us to be prepared when he speaks to us.  Then we will be patient when he asks us to wait and expect him to fulfill the promises found in his Word. 

            I'm hoping and praying that you will “soar on wings like eagles; run and now grow weary” as you accept His joy & share it with others.
