Have you had your JOY JUICE today? The JOY of the Lord helps us to face life’s
challenges.
Though we
don’t know what will happen tomorrow…or even a minute from now, we can move
forward with God-confidence, knowing that He will guide our steps. When we fail to follow God, we will “mis-step”…but
God is a forgiving God and is always ready to help us start fresh. As we seek
God’s will, let’s remember 2 Corinthians 5:7:
“For we walk by faith, not by sight…”
The Christian
life is often referred to as a walk. We take one step at time…hopefully
depending on God to lead us down the right path. We can’t always SEE with our
physical eyes where that path will lead, but we can trust that God knows
best.
So often,
things are not as they appear to be in the natural.

Remember
Joseph being sold to slave traders by his jealous and deceitful brothers? It
did not look like Joseph was being groomed to be Prime Minister in Egypt, did it?
·
Think of
Pharoah and his army closing in on Israel,
as they were trapped beside the Red Sea. It
did not look like Israel
would be delivered and the Egyptian army would be destroyed.
·
Remember
young David standing before gigantic Goliath. It did not look like the giant
would be defeated and David would enjoy a thorough victory. Only eyes of faith
could really appreciate what was actually happening.
Throughout 2013, let’s choose to walk by
faith and not by sight! I’m sure that
will lead us along a path of JOY in the Lord.
