Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Whether you
drive a brand new sports car or a run-down jalopy, God’s serving of joy can
taste just as sweet!
There are
many different types of cars we can choose to drive. And there are similarities and differences
among them. Every car has a motor, wheels, bumpers and windows…as well as many
other things that a “girl” like me would know nothing about. I do know that you have to turn the ignition
to start the car; and that you move your steering wheel to the right or left
when you want to turn. Brakes help you stop and lights help you to see. Those are
the kinds of things that are the same about all vehicles. But what about the differences? Color, size, style, speed, design, make, cost,
etc. etc…
People also
come in different sizes and styles….but we all are made by the same “Designer”. God has given us an owner’s manual (Bible) that
He wants us to read consistently. Daily wear
and tear can damage us. Just because
we’re still “running” and things look okay on the outside, does not necessarily
mean that everything is good on the inside. 1 Samuel 16:7 says: “The LORD does not look at the
things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD
looks at the heart."
Just
as a car needs servicing, we, too, need
to keep our lives running smoothly by allowing God to do daily inspections. Allow
Him to use His Oil of Joy to lubricate all the places that need His special
touch.
