Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Seek it! Drink
it! And share it!
Would you
classify yourself as one who is searching or serving? Certainly we want to
search the scriptures, search for truth and search for God’s plan and purpose
for our lives. But consider the person
that searches in the wrong places.
(Isn’t there an old country music song about that?)
Some people
look for success in the workplace as a substitute for success God’s way. There are those who search for material
wealth and possessions rather than God’s inheritance for eternity. Many search
for fame and fortune….and sadly end their lives empty and heartbroken.
Maybe a
question to ask ourselves would be, “Do I search or do I serve?” With God’s help, we can do BOTH! We can search God’s heart by reading the
Bible and spending time in prayer, seeking His wisdom & plan for our
lives. If the eyes and ears of our
hearts are open, then He will show us who and where and when to serve! Serving
God leads us to serve others.
There are
many ways of serving---dynamic ways and quiet ways. Even something as seemingly
small as an encouraging word to someone at just the appropriate time is a way
to serve. Proverbs 15:23 says:
“A person finds joy in
giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!”
Let’s focus on serving the Lord and sharing His joy with our words, our
actions and our kind deeds.
