Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Drinking it
faithfully is important to assure abundant joy!
ABUNDANCE----what
does that word mean to you? When I hear
the word, I immediately think of a huge amount of something! Sometimes we think we have an abundance of
WORK! Growing, busy families have an
abundance of laundry and housework. Many
times we’re overwhelmed with an abundance of yard work. Most likely we ALL feel that we have an
abundance of bills!
But let’s
think of abundance in the context that Jesus taught about in the book of John.
Remember the passage we talked about yesterday in John 10:10? “I
have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.” What kind of
ABUNDANCE is Jesus speaking of in this verse?
Bruce
Wilkinson (in The Prayer of Jabez Devotional) writes: “The secret to TRUE abundance is to want what God
wants.” That means to love God so much that we put aside our desires and
trust that God knows what is best for us.
He wants us to bring our needs and desires before Him, but when we do
so, we need to be content with whatever answer He gives us.
Abundant
life in Christ is living every moment soaking up His love, His will and His
direction. It is then that we will learn
the meaning of being filled with abundant joy.
Drink your Joy Juice every
day, trusting God to bless you with His abundant joy…enough for you and plenty
left over to share!
