Keep Asking for JOY in the Lord!

             Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Keep asking the Lord for your personal serving…..because He’s made some especially for you!

In Ephesians 1:17, Paul writes,    “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.”  I believe this verse goes hand in hand with what Jesus taught in Matthew about asking, seeking and knocking!

As we go before the Lord in prayer, our hearts should be seeking the Spirit of wisdom that comes from hearing from God personally.  He WILL reveal His plan for our lives, IF we earnestly and fervently keep knocking on His heart’s door, keep seeking an intimate relationship with Him, our Father.  He loves us and wants us to keep asking Him about what is important to us.  It pleases Him when we persist in coming to Him with our concerns, our burdens, our deepest hearts desires. Like a loving Father, He’s ready and waiting to put His arms around us, giving us His undivided attention as He hears our prayers.  We can trust that, as we listen to His instruction, He will not fail to guide us in the right way.

                  I truly believe that He has a broad smile on His face when we kneel before Him with a tender heart….one which is totally committed to following after Him and  JOYfully accepting His plan.

            Keep asking the Lord to pour out His wisdom and JOY into your life….then, pass it along to others!
