Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Being
faithful in our commitment to God, not only gives us joy…but lots of hope.
Jon Bloom
wrote in his book Things Not Seen: “How things appear to us, and how they
actually are, are rarely the same.
Sometimes it looks and feels like the Almighty is dealing ‘very
bitterly’ with us, when all the while he is doing us and many others more good
than we can imagine. God’s purpose in
the lives of his children are always gracious.
ALWAYS. If they don’t look like
it, don’t trust your perceptions. Trust
God’s promises. He is always filling His
promises.”
Maybe it
all comes down to how much we trust God.
Hebrews 10:23 in the Amplified Bible says: “Let us seize and hold
tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is
reliable and trustworthy and faithful.”
We must
believe…unwaveringly. We must hold
tightly to his promises. The only way to
know those promises are to study the Word of God…the Holy Bible. “We are most
powerful in prayer when we pray God’s Word and rely on His promises.” Susie Larson teaches that “this process of
petition, persistence, and perseverance transforms us as we go.”
Let’s pray God’s promises and be filled with
hope and joy in the Lord.
