JOY by Beth Moore

I love Beth Moore's article on how we lose our JOY along the way. i love the fact that HE CAN restore it again where we left it...... in His presence.
She says ' We may lose our joy...

1. When our output exceeds our intake.
Elijah was pouring out more than he was pouring in. Am i serving more than i am seeking?
2. When our talk exceeds our walk.
1Kings 19 somewhere along the way , his mouth and his heart parted company!!
3. When we become ' wonder junkies'.
Elijah had grown accostomed to seeing God in the midst of magnificance that he missed Him as the JOY in the midst of the mundane.
4. When we are exhausted.
Elijah had neglected to eat and to rest. Read about God's tender care for Elijah.
5. When we feel all alone.
Elijah felt as if he was the only one standing up for God.


Psalm 16v11 " You have made known to me the path of life;you will fill me with JOY in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
