Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Why should you drink it? Because it’s full of spiritual nutrients…and will give you strength!
We all know people who seem to have more than their share of trouble. Some have buckled under the pressure, but others have come out stronger for having gone through them! What makes the difference? I firmly believe that faith in God is a deciding factor.
God’s Word repeatedly promises that through Him and in Him we will find strength to meet the challenges that come our way. But never does He promise that He will eliminate these difficulties from our lives. If He gave us no rough roads to walk, no mountains to climb, and no battles to fight, we would not grow. He does not leave us alone with our challenges; instead He stands beside us, teaches us, and strengthens us.
Psalm 18:30-32 says it beautifully: “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.”
If you find yourself today in the midst of one of those tough challenges, let God be your shield as you take refuge in Him. Allow Him to infuse you with His strength so that you can face each challenge boldly and find the JOY of the Lord as your strength.
