Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Focus on the joy gifts God has especially for
you!
Sometimes I find it very difficult to focus,
do you? It’s especially hard when we’re
tired or when our mind is cluttered with so many things. Many of us are caught up in such a busy
lifestyle, that we try to pack 36 hours into 24 on some days. And the result is often: exhaustion!
Sleep deprivation is common in our busy society.
Sleeping disorders are on the rise and the impacts can be seen in the increased
caffeine consumption, lack of production on the job, and the more widespread
cases of diabetes and depression. How
much rest we get is also an important safety issue. Sleep deprivation is blamed for approximately
100,000 automobile accidents and 1500 fatalities each year! We should never underestimate the importance of a good
night’s rest!
Let’s think about this from the spiritual
standpoint! Psalm 16: 9 sums it up
beautifully:
"Therefore
my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure."
When David
penned these words, his heart was glad. He knew the secret to JOY…a
relationship with God. When we have a
daily walk with the Lord, our heart will be filled with gladness and we will
find ourselves rejoicing in His presence.
When our hearts are joyful, our bodies and minds are much more “at rest”
because we are focusing on what is TRULY important.
REST IN HIM and let Him fill
your heart with unspeakable JOY!
