Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Don’t get too busy to drink your own personal serving.
If each of us listed our daily activities on a sheet of paper, we might truly be surprised at how much we try to accomplish in one day’s time! Come to think of it, that might not be such a bad idea. If we kept a log for a few days, then we could pinpoint those things that are “must dos” and those things that could be postponed or cut out all together. We’d quickly be able to see our priorities!
May I ask you a personal question? Without a written list, can you sense that your priorities are out of order? If GOD is not first, then we will be running without purpose. But if we allow God to be our shepherd, then we experience a “spiritual peace and rest” that can come only from knowing Him and being in His will.
The words of the 23rd Psalm are familiar. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul.”
Doesn’t that scripture give you a vision of peace and rest…to lie down in green pastures and to stroll beside the quiet, still waters? Let’s take a few minutes out of our busy day to rest in the Lord instead of immediately hopping on the treadmill of life….running fast, but going nowhere!
Let's all remember to take the time to “lie down in those green pastures” and experience God’s rest and JOY.
