A Divine Appointment of Joy

            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Keep an extra serving on hand just in case you need it for one of God’s “divine appointments”!

            If we are serious about making a difference in our world, about sharing the love and joy of the Lord….then God is going to set up some meetings, otherwise known as “divine appointments”.

            A divine appointment is exactly what it says it is …..an appointment designed by the divine creator.  God is sovereign…all knowing…all-powerful. And He schedules these appointments, sometimes because he wants to bless us….other times, because he wants to bless others through us!  How many times do we miss our appointments simply because we’re on our own schedule and don’t stop to consult The Divine Appointment-Maker?

            Throughout the Bible there are many examples of divine appointments. Time after time God leads the faithful to cross another person’s path and great things happen.

             In the book of Esther we see that she was in the right place at the right time and…as the scripture says, she: “came to the kingdom for such a time as this.”   God used Esther to save the Jewish people and His covenant with Abraham was upheld.  Because of Esther’s willingness to be in the center of God’s plan, she was blessed with the boldness to stand firm and be used of God in a mighty way that changed history!

            Are you willing to be used by God?  Ask Him to make you aware of the next “divine appointment” that he has scheduled for you.  An opportunity of JOY is waiting right around the corner!  Don’t be late!

            Take plenty of Joy Juice to your next divine appointment and be ready “for such a time as this”!
