Have you
had your Joy Juice today? May your day
be filled with sunshine and joy!
Some days
are good days…filled with laughter and excitement! Some days are bad days…...we wish we could
have a “do-over”. And then, there are the normal, ordinary days. In all of the “days of our lives”, GOD IS
THERE!
Whether we
experience “rainbow days”, “stormy days” or “ordinary days”, our faith should
stand strong. Of course, we’d all prefer
to have “sunshine and lollipop” days.
But then, would we depend as much on God if we never had struggles? He sends us a variety of experiences in order
to help us grow. From that perspective,
all rain or all sunshine would neither one be best for us! Aren’t we thankful that the Lord knows just
the right combination of what we need to help us develop spiritually?
As 2 Samuel
23:4 says “…he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like
the brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth.” May we remember that our God has a plan and
purpose for each of us. But if we don’t seek His wisdom and are intent on
“doing things our own way”, we may be inviting some of the storms into our
lives.
We can and
should read & study God’s Word. We can even memorize scripture! But if we don’t apply that wisdom and
instruction, we will not grow spiritually. Let’s thank the Lord for the sunshine and
praise Him in the rain…knowing that regardless, He is with us!
Whatever this day may bring, let’s look for JOY
in the Lord!
