Have you had your JOY JUICE today? I hope you’ve made a commitment to finding
the JOY in every situation!
The passage
in Psalm 37: 5-7 tells us how to be joyful, regardless of our
circumstances.
“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will
make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the
noonday sun. Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when
they carry out their wicked plans.”
Are then any references to JOY in this passage? You better believe it! Though the word JOY
is not used, if we look at these verses under our JOYscope, we'll find at least five
reasons for JOY.
- When we commit our life to God, we can trust him to keep His promises.
- He will cause us to “shine” with righteousness, not because of anything WE can do…but because of HIS righteousness in us.
- When the justice of the LORD comes forth in our lives, we will be radiating with HIS joy!
- We can rest in Him, “be still” and “wait patiently for him”. HE will show us…in His perfect timing…each step we should take.
- We don’t have to worry about what others do…even their plans to hurt or destroy us…for GOD is our protector and avenger.
I’m sure, as we keep seeking Him, we will find
more and more JOY in the truths of scripture.
Look closely each time you read your Bible and be ready to find the JOY JUICE
of JESUS throughout God's Word!
