THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

DON’T ALLOW THE PRESSURES AND BUSYNESS OF LIFE STEAL YOUR JOY

The wise men traveled a considerable distance to see the great King whose arrival the Bible foretold. They followed the bright star, and when they found Him, it says they REJOICED EXCEEDINGLY. Those men were SO happy that they COULDN’T hide it. Notice what they did next; they fell down and WORSHIPED Him.

When a WISE person seeks Jesus, they are filled with indescribable JOY. They are COMPELLED to worship Him! Let that be YOU and ME today. Let’s let the joy of the Lord fill our hearts and be reflected on our FACES during the holiday season and EVERY day of the year. Don’t allow the pressures and busyness of life STEAL your joy. Let those AROUND you see that you’ve been with JESUS. REJOICE in Him, WORSHIP Him, and WALK with Him in victory ALL the days of your life!

Today’s Scripture:

“…the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him…”

Matthew 2:9-11, NKJV
