GOD is our JOYful Source of Strength

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s the best source of strength ever known to man!

            Of course when I say “JOY JUICE”, I’m referring to the joy found in relationship with God.  When we come to the point in our lives that we realize how limited we are and how limitless God is, then we are at the beginning of understanding how much we need Him. 

            The theme of Psalm 46 is about God’s strength.  My bible notes explain: "God is always there to help, providing refuge, security, and peace.  God’s power is complete and his ultimate victory is certain.  He will not fail to rescue those who love him."

            The very first verse in the Psalm 46 summarizes it well. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”  That’s a great verse to memorize, if we’ve not already do so. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”   If these words are in our heart, when the time of trouble comes we can recall them and be reminded that we don’t have to face the situation in our strength.  GOD is there!  He’s our refuge.  When we are weak…HE IS STRONG. 

            So on those days that you are not FEELing very strong, remember the wonderful truth that we don’t have to be strong, because we have a God who is!  And He is JOYfully ready to help us in our weakness.

             Commit these words to your heart: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”  Now, face the day with JOY!
