Have you had
your JOY JUICE today? As you drink it,
listen for God to give you instructions for the day.
Throughout
the Bible we are given instruction about which way to go. If we will be sensitive
to God’s leading, then we will learn to hear His voice as He guides us, one
step at a time. In Isaiah 30:21 we read:
"Whether you turn to the right or to
the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way;
walk in it.'"
In this passage of scripture, the people of Jerusalem had left God’s
path…and he had to correct them. He
will do the same for us today! We must
be willing to listen and follow his voice of correction and instruction.
When Judah was prosperous and comfortable,
they wouldn't listen to God. So He allowed them to go through times of
adversity and affliction; the results---they began to hear God and be guided by
Him again. It's always better to be uncomfortable and in tune with the Lord
than to be comfortable and out of step with God.
There will
be times when we’ll experience painful trials; But we must remember that God always acts out of his love for us. Next time we go through a difficult time,
let’s try to grow from the experience, learning what God wants to teach us. God may be showing His love by patiently
walking with us through adversity and pointing the WAY---one step at a time.
May we remember that God will
show us the way to JOY….but we must be listening to His voice and willing to
follow!
