Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It may be just the thing to boost your energy
level!
How many of
us will admit to packing our day so full of activity that by nightfall, we are
literally exhausted! There are those who
truly do have health issues that sap their energy level and make them weak, but
many of us simply do not make wise choices.
We overbook and over-extend ourselves---misjudging what we can
realistically get done in one day’s time. It’s as if we think we have super-powers!
When we are weary and tired, every
area of our life is affected! Our
patience runs thin with our family and we often find ourselves snapping instead
of responding to them in love. Our
thought process slows down and we can’t make clear decisions. Sometimes physical exhaustion leads to a
breakdown in our health, and we are susceptible to illnesses because of a
weakened immune system.
May I
suggest that we have a large serving of that “booster” I like to call JOY JUICE…especially
when we are feeling spiritually weak!
Nehemiah 8:10 tells us that “The joy of the Lord is our strength.” We all experience times of weariness. But God has given us His Word which, when
applied consistently in our lives, provides spiritual rest, renewal and
strength to our hearts and minds.
As you look
at your schedule of things to do today, make sure that Bible study and prayer
are a priority. Sip the JOY JUICE of
Jesus throughout your busy day.
Let’s be reminded to slow down long enough
to experience God’s joy and the strength that He gives us when we depend on
Him.
