Have you had your Joy Juice today? Don’t be distracted!
We all
have distractions in our lives…things that keep us from accomplishing what we
set out to do for the day. Many of us
really intend to start the day with a quiet time of Bible reading and prayer,
but as soon as we crawl out of bed, the distractions begin! Our family needs
us, the phone rings, we have to be at work early….one thing after another pulls
us in a countless directions.
John
Maxwell writes that “you can make every day of your life a masterpiece”! He
says that there are two ingredients necessary to make every day count:
Decisions and Discipline. They can’t be separated because one is worthless
without the other!
He goes
on to explain that Good Decisions
without Daily Discipline leads to a Plan without a Payoff. Daily
Discipline without Good Decisions makes Regimentation without Reward. But
here’s the encouraging news: Good Decisions + Daily Discipline = A
Masterpiece of Potential.
We must
be determined to make wise choices….and with God’s help, we can make every day
count for Him. Let’s make a good
decision to allow God to be in control of each day and then be disciplined to
practice the JOY of the Lord in all circumstances. When we learn to live each day with this
mindset, we will tap into that Masterpiece of JOYful potential that the Lord
intends for each of us.
Let’s be determined to not let distractions
keep us from enjoying this beautiful day that the Lord has made. Let us REJOICE, be glad in it and share His
joy with others! (Psalm 118:24)
