Have you had your Joy Juice today? The Bible is rilled with truth that encourages, instructs and brings us JOY!
As we begin
2013, let's be diligent about hiding God’s Word in our hearts so that we may
aim toward a year of joyful obedience.
There are many verses in the Bible that instruct us to obey our Heavenly
Father. Let’s memorize Jeremiah 7:23.
"Obey me, and I will be your God
and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you."
God loves
us! He wants our year 2013 to “go well”
with us. How can that happen? By being obedient to Him. That doesn’t mean going through the motions,
the rituals so to speak. It’s a matter
of the heart. We should love Him so much
that we WANT to obey Him. Knowing that He would never ask us to do
anything that would harm us, should be a motivator to stay steeped in His Word
so that we will know what his wise commands are. And when we’re feeling weak, like we are
going to fail, we can call out to Him and He will answer us.
Sometimes
we go running to Him like a child jumping into the arms of a loving father.
Other times we are so weak, that He has to scoop us up off the ground and pull
us to Him. Either way, we can feel those
strong loving arms around us in every type of situation. Even when the unexpected heartbreak comes, it
can “be well with us” because of our relationship with him…a relationship of strength and JOY.
Obey God by walking in His ways;
and drink in the Joy Juice that He pours out for you this new year!
