Chillax!!! Live in Peace and Joy

           Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Don’t be anxious….instead, drink in the joy of the Lord and quit worrying!

            Do you suffer from the disease of “worryius”?  It’s contagious!!. Most of us battle it from time to time. But I have some good news and some bad news.  Let me give you the bad news first: YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS IN CONTROL!  And the good news: YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS IN CONTROL! How can that be both bad news AND good news?!

            Our human nature is to want to be in control of our choices and our plans. But the “bad news” is that even the wisest of people, sometimes do not know what is best!  When we relinquish control of our life to God, we can trust that we have Someone “watching our back”!  We have Someone Who loves us more than we can imagine.  We have Someone Who knows our circumstances and is protecting us because WE ARE HIS!  That’s the good news of peace and joy.
                  
          SO…let’s “chillax”! To  recover from “worry-itus”, we need to do as The Great Physician has told us and take our medication called the “pill of peace”…which is found in John 14:27:

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; …... Let not your heart be troubled , neither let it be afraid.”

          It is absolutely impossible to worry and live in peace at the same time.  Give your worries to God and enjoy the peace that Jesus died for us to have. 

           Be aware that anxiety and worry are attacks from the enemy intended to distract us from serving the Lord with joy!
