Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? Ask God for an
outpouring of His JOY in your life!
Author and
speaker, Bruce Wilkinson, uses the term “Holy Askers” in one of his
devotionals. What exactly is a “Holy Asker”? We know that throughout the Bible we are
encouraged, taught, instructed to “ask”.
We see examples of Godly men and women in the Bible who asked for God’s
blessings. Jabez asked for God to “bless
him, INDEED!”
When we ask
Jesus into our heart, we automatically receive some blessings:
- We are forgiven.
- We have a personal relationship with Christ.
- We receive the Holy Spirit.
- We are granted eternal life.
But we can still pray for
“blessings, indeed”, as Jabez did! I’m not talking about the selfish, worldly
desires like material things and stuff that will bring us brief satisfaction. I’m speaking of God’s BEST for
us….opportunities to share His love and JOY with others; JOY that comes from
serving Him and being in the center of His will.
To
quote Bruce Wilkinson: “Change your life today by asking…and asking
again. God is scanning the planet today
for Holy Askers. He wants to give you
your larger destiny. He wants to fill
the holes in your aching heart. In fact,
He loves you so much that every blessing He gives is personalized to your need
to be blessed in a particular place in your life.”
Let’s agree to be “Holy Askers” by asking God throughout each day for
more and more JOY in Him!
