Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’ll help you to see God’s JOYful blessings more clearly.
Don't Miss God's Blessings of JOY!
So often we miss God’s blessings because of the rat-race we running. We stay so busy with the urgency of life and hectic schedules that we have on blinders and never see some of the obvious blessings that God pours out into our lives. Yesterday we talked about counting our blessings. If we truly were to start making a list, I believe we would be more grateful to our Heavenly Father.
Let me ask you just a few simple questions to get your “thankful engine” running.
- Are you able to hear my voice?
- Were you able to get out of bed this morning?
- Do you have a bed?
- Will you eat today?
- Do you have clothes to put on your body?
YES or NO?
I’m pretty sure that most of us would have to answer yes to each of those questions. But do you realize that there are many people across our world that would have to say no? These are such basic needs…but we often overlook them.
I fear that we also miss the simple but supreme gift of God’s LOVE! We have the knowledge that He gave His only Son to die for us, but do we truly comprehend that kind of love and thank Him for it often? When is the last time that you thanked God for His love and for the basic provisions of life? Right now is a good time!
May the verse in 1 Chronicles 16: 34 be our prayer of joyful thanksgiving today: Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
