Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? There’s no
limit to how fast you can drink it!
Do you
always obey the speed limit signs? It’s
my guess that most of us have been guilty of driving too fast…maybe even getting
a speeding ticket. Why do we get angry
at the officer who catches us? Is it his fault? WE are the ones who have broken
the speed limit. His job is to protect
us and he does that by enforcing the law.
So instead of being angry, we really should be thanking him for trying
to keep us safe!
How often
do we speed ahead of God? When God stops
us by allowing our choices to trap us, we may find ourselves in some pretty
uncomfortable situations. Sometimes we’re angry with God because we’ve been
“caught”. Is it God’s fault? Nope!
It’s the consequences of our own poor choices; and the “ticket” we have
to pay often hurts.
In Psalm
46:10 God tells us to “Be still, and know that I am God”. Frequently
we do speed ahead of God rather than being still and waiting on Him to tell us
when and where and how fast to go. It’s
not always an easy thing to “BE STILL”….especially when you desire to “do
something” for Him!
Rest
assured that God’s timing and speed are perfect! Don’t get ahead of him by going too fast;
but, neither should we lag behind when He give us an assignment.
Stay in
perfect alignment with Him by obeying His speed limit. That’s where you will find JOY in serving
Him.
