Vitamin V and Joyful Victory!




            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s a sure way to give you victory over the “worry-bug”!

            I hope you’ve had your immunization against the Worry Disease.  It’s a simple, daily shot of the multi-vitamin called "Victory in Jesus"! The way to “victory” is to be in a continual spirit of prayer and gratitude.  One of the passages I use a lot when I am speaking to groups is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.  It’s a very simple passage to quote, to memorize, to share.  But it’s not always easy to apply.  As a matter of fact, without God’s help, I don’t think we can do it.  “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

      Often we put the emphasis on the first part of that passage, the “be joyful, pray always, give thanks in all things” part.  But the last few words are just as important, if not more so:  FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS FOR YOU!”
     
         God loves YOU!  God want the best FOR YOU! God doesn’t want you to be anxious…about anything!  He wants YOU to be filled with HIS joy; He desires for that personal communication through prayer to be constant.  And it brings Him joy to hear us being thankful because a thankful heart is a joyful heart!  That’s how to have VICTORY over worry!

      Be immunized against worry by giving God control of your life.  Rejoice, pray and be thankful!
