Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? Don’t lose
heart…keep on keeping on drinking that JOY JUICE!
The Bible
tells us in Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become
weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not
give up.” One translation says: “Do
not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right….
We
all would probably admit that it gets hard at times to keep on keeping on. Even if it’s good things we’re doing, often
we feel like quitting because we’re not seeing a lot of results. It may be that we feel under-appreciated and that
no one would notice if we did quit.
Discouragement begins to seep in and take control of our thoughts!
The
Bible teaches that we are to persevere, push forward, and not complain about
it! Do you remember how immediately
after being baptized, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to
be tested and tried by the devil for 40 days?
Did Jesus complain? Did he become
discouraged and depressed? Did he “lose
heart” and give up? No!
I
know what you’re thinking…..”BUT HE WAS JESUS!
Of course, he didn’t give up!”
Well, let me tell you a little secret…..We have the SAME HOLY SPIRIT
available to help us! Rom. 8:26
says,
"And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness…"
Let’s encourage one another by staying strong in
our faith and praying that any discouragement will be replaced with JOY in the Lord!
