Have you had your Joy Juice today? What do you have planned for your day? Will it be a day filled with work or play?
Problems or pleasures? Worries or rewards?
Remember that if you are filled with the love of Christ, “the joy of the
Lord will be your strength” in all circumstances. (Nehemiah 8:10)
We’ve
talked a lot this week about being filled with the fullness of God. In order to
experience that “fullness”, we must first empty ourselves of “self”. We can’t
do that in our own strength, but it is possible with God. How? By living out the verse in Psalm 16:11: “You
make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
When we “fill up”
with faith in God, He will show us each step we should take on this path called
“life”. And as we go, the promise of God is that He will fill us with joy…because
we are in His Presence! He goes with us---wherever we go! We can never travel
beyond His reach. Not just on this
earth…but throughout eternity! Joy here & joy now; and joy forever can be
ours because of God’s amazing love!
We receive
power through the Holy Spirit to have the ability to receive Christ into our
heart. This is God’s grace…Grace is God’s part and faith is our part. Your
faith is proof of your love for God. Obedience to God proves your faith.
Along your path of life, allow God to fill
you! And get ready to overflow with His love and joy!
