Joy Plateau - April 23, 2008

Good Wednesday morning, and a happy administrative professionals day. Have you been lost in that maelstrom of thoughts lately? That whirlwind of thoughts that takes us to a dark place of dread and anxiety? Our adversary specializes in whispering anxious or depressed thoughts to us. Those thoughts are lies, and we need the Truth to fight them. Today, I thought that the height of joy would be a peak, but that by definition shows a downside to joy. Climbing up to the peak would only leave us with a long slide to the bottom. However, in Christ the joy we will experience in that day that He calls us home is more like a plateau, an unending plateau with no drop off. All through this life we will struggle and race in one direction only... toward Christ. It may seem that your life is pulling you in many directions at once, with demands on your time and resources coming from all points of the compass. However, in the end there is only one goal and one destination, Christ Jesus. I pray that all of us will experience the unending and bountiful joy of Jesus in this life and the next.
