Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Stop whatever you're doing right now and have yourself a generous serving!
Psalm 46:10 tells us to "BE STILL...and know that I am God." Many of us find that the only time we are really "still" is when we're asleep! And even then we're probably running in our dreams! "Being still" is an important part of our spiritual growth process. An intimate relationship with God requires quiet time spent alone with God. Church attendance is wonderful and good---and certainly should be a part of our life---but one-on-one time with God is how we develop a deep, abiding relationship with Him.
Many years ago when Pat and I were dating, we would spend time together to get to know one another. If we had not been intentional about making that time for one another, we may never have fallen in love. Now, after 38 years of marriage, we enjoy a deep, personal relationship. In much the same way, we need to spend time with our precious Heavenly Father so that we can get to know Him in an intimate, personal way.
I encourage you today to fall in love with Jesus! Be intentional about spending time with Him. "BE STILL...and know that He is God!" You'll soon find that you have a JOYful glow about you that can come only from "being in love" with HIM!
Joyce, your devotionals are always so uplifting and so "right on."
