Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Don’t worry…there’s plenty to share any time
of the day or night.
Are you too
busy? I’m not just talking about with
chores and tasks and the responsibilities of life in general. The question I’d like for us to consider
today….are we too busy WORRYING about things that we have no control over? Are we too busy being anxious about things
that might not even happen? Are we too
stressed to realize how blessed we really are?
The Bible
says a heap about worrying. One of the
familiar passages is found in Matthew 6 where Jesus, himself, is teaching about
worry. He said:
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what
you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more
than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of
the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can
any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Instead of worry….we should hurry to the Word of God and read passages that will strengthen and
build us up. Rather than stressing, let’s
see the blessings that are ours.
As Paul wrote in Philippians 4:6: Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known to God.
Let’s
not EVER be too busy worrying to give thanks to God for all of our blessings of
JOY!
