Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Hope your day is filled with joy….even when
the storms come!
God has
blessed me to be a part of “JoyJoy Ministries”.
The vision He has placed in my heart is to share a double-portion of His joy
with others. My thoughts and my writings easily focus on the “passion” He has
given me---JOY in the Lord! However, I would be misleading
you if I pretended to always enJOY my circumstances or tell you
that I always respond joyfully
to every situation. Not so……
Life is
hard at times. Paul tells us in
Philippians 4:4 that we are to “Rejoice, always!” …not because of the sickness
or heartache or broken relationship. We can
“rejoice always” because God is there to walk with us through the difficult
times.
Rick Warren says that the “Bible teaches us that there are three kinds
of storms in life: storms that we bring on ourselves (like
Samson), storms that God causes (like on the Sea of
Galilee), and storms that other people cause (as when Paul
and Silas were thrown into prison).”
The fact is that we are ALL going to experience stormy days. But, no matter what kind of storm you may
find yourself in, you can count on God to be in the midst of it with you,
sheltering you, protecting you even when you are scared and hurting.
Stand
strong under God’s umbrella of protection and find joy under the shelter of His
wing.
