Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Come on and be a good influence by radiating the JOY of the Lord faithfully!
Psalm 34:5 makes me overflow with joy. Listen to these words:
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
When we look to him for help, God promises that we will be “radiant with joy”. Our hearts will be resting in the truth that He is in control and we don’t have to worry or fret. That peace that passes all understanding will cover us and we will experience joy in the Lord which causes us to be strengthened and able to RADIATE with love for Him and others.
God wants us to “look to Him” for everything. It brings Him joy when we go to him in prayer. We can pray about
· Which pair of shoes to buy
· How to be wise in managing our time and finances
· We pray about the health of loved ones, marriage partners for our children and grandchildren, lost souls
· We should pray about everything!
The rest of today’s verse says: “no shadow of shame will darken our faces”! When we allow Him to direct our steps, our choices, our words and deeds, there will be no reason for shame. What an awesome, positive influence on others!! It’s a JOYful equation: Others look to us---We look to the God---Others learn to look to God because of our influence.
Radiate Christ and you will be sharing the JOY of the Lord! Isn’t that the kind of influence you’d like to be?
