Put on Your Joy Glasses



                Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Be sensitive to those who may need some extra joy!

                 When you put on your “joy glasses” and look at the world through the eyes of Jesus, you will become more and more aware of the “divine appointments” God has scheduled.   In the Bible we can read many examples of these kinds of meetings.  For example, in Acts, Chapter 8, Philip was in a place where things were really “popping”!  There was a definite moving of the Holy Spirit….yet---God called him to leave there and go to the desert!  (This is one of those times that it appeared God was not making sense!)

           But GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING!  And thankfully, Philip trusted Him enough to go.  You see, there in the desert, he would encounter his “divine appointment” with an important Ethiopian man.  God was already preparing the man’s heart for this appointment, as well.  The Ethiopian  was sitting in his chariot, reading Isaiah 53, which is the prophecy about the sufferings of the Messiah, Jesus.

            God guided Philip to approach the chariot and begin a conversation with this man.  He began by asking, “Do you understand what you are reading?”  That opened the door for Philip to be invited into the chariot and to share the “GOOD NEWS”!  The Ethiopian believed and was baptized! 

            Just as God used Philip, He can use you and me….if we are willing.  That “stranger”--- that just happens to come into your life today--- may be your “divine appointment”.  Be sensitive to God’s leading and share the JOY of the Lord with friends and strangers alike!

            Drink your JOY JUICE faithfully, so that you will be overflowing with His joy and sensitive to every divine appointment God has for you!
