Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Try it; you’ll like it!
In the
early 1970’s there was a commercial for a popular antacid whose main line was
“TRY IT! YOU’LL LIKE IT.” Those five words are still often used as a
flashback to that ad. Today I want to
use the phrase to encourage you to drink the genuine JOY JUICE of JESUS. I can promise that if you will “taste and see
that the Lord is good”, you’ll experience a peace and joy that is like no
other. TRY IT! YOU’LL LIKE IT!
Proverbs
14:30 tells us “A heart of peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the
bones.” It doesn’t take us long to come up with
personal examples to prove that truth.
If we are
jealous and envious of something that someone else has, we are not at peace…as
a matter of fact, we grow bitter and resentful; critical and judgmental. But when we learn to be content with what God
has given us…as Paul speaks of in Philippians 4:4-7, we’ll be overflowing with
peace and joy from God. Paul tells to:
“Rejoice in the Lord always.
Again I will say, rejoice! Let
your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be
anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
