A Double Portion of His Joy

            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Please drink in a generous serving so that you’ll be filled with the strength and power of God.

            Many years ago by a Godly minister named Arthur W. Pink wrote an article about the power of God.  He said, “We cannot have a right conception of God unless we think of Him as all-powerful, as well as all-wise.”  Do you truly believe---whole-heartedly---that God is “all-powerful” and that you can trust in His wisdom for your life?  Until we come to this point in our spiritual journey, we will not be able to experience full, abundant joy.

         Arthur Pink explained that “the power of God is that ability and strength whereby He can bring to pass whatsoever He pleases, whatsoever His infinite wisdom may direct, and whatsoever the infinite purity of His will may resolve”. 

            Psalm 62:11 says: "God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this, that power belongeth unto God".  If God speaks ONCE…that should be enough! Nothing more is necessary! But--because He loves us and because He knew we would sometimes doubt, He said it twice: “Power belongs unto God!”   We can be “DOUBLE SURE” that we can trust in His power.  That should bring us DOUBLE JOY!

           May we be reminded of God’s sovereign plan and know that His power and wisdom will fill us with a DOUBLE PORTION of HIS JOY!
