Blessings of Peace, Rest & Joy in Christ



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  You’ll be blessed by drinking a huge serving and offering some to others, as well.

            God continues to pour out His blessings on us, doesn’t He?  But many times we miss them because we are consumed with our problems or distractions.  Often we’re so busy that we are simply oblivious to His goodness and graciousness.  Ephesians 1:3: says:  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” (NIV)

            In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he explains the wonderful things that we have received through Christ.  He says that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing IN CHRIST.  Does this mean that we will never have tough times or problems?  Not at all.  But when we do go through the difficult times, we can face those challenges knowing that we have the blessing of God’s strength and wisdom and comfort.

            If we choose to depend on Him, we have to look beyond the ‘mountain of crisis’ and let Him carry us through to the other side. What’s so scary is that we can’t see what’s on the other side…but we have to move forward in obedient faith.   Many times God requires us to defy human logic and reason. What He asks us to do doesn’t make sense by the world’s way of thinking. In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

            Allow Jesus to carry your burdens and watch Him pour out His blessings of love, compassion and joy.

             Be blessed by trusting in Jesus and drinking your JOY JUICE faithfully
