I have read of it happening but just can’t wrap my mind around jumping on a grenade, even to save one’s friends.

Playing with Joy

Bible in a Year: Job 1–2; Acts 7:22–43

The fruit of the Spirit is . . . joy. Galatians 5:22

One of our sons, Brian, is a high school basketball coach. One year, as his team was dribbling its way through the Washington State Basketball Tournament, well-meaning folks around town asked, “Are you going to win it all this year?” Both players and coaches felt the pressure, so Brian adopted a motto: “Play with joy!”

I thought of the apostle Paul’s last words to the elders of Ephesus: “That I may finish my race with joy” (Acts 20:24 nkjv). His aim was to complete the tasks Jesus had given him. I have made these words my motto and my prayer: “May I run and finish my race with joy.” Or as Brian says, “May I play with joy!” And by the way, Brian’s team did win the state championship that year.

We all have good reasons to get grouchy: discouraging news, everyday stresses, health problems. Nevertheless, God can give us a joy that transcends these conditions if we ask Him. We can have what Jesus called, “my joy” (John 15:11).

Joy is a fruit of the Spirit of Jesus (Galatians 5:22). So we must remember each morning to ask Him to help us: “May I play with joy!” Author Richard Foster said, “To pray is to change. This is a great grace. How good of God to provide a path whereby our lives can be taken over by . . . joy.”

By David H. Roper

Reflect & Pray

What causes you to be discouraged? Where do you find your joy?

I turn my eyes to You, God. I’m grateful I can count on Your faithfulness to me. Please bring me into Your joy.

Stay safe everyone...Christmas Eve is just six months away!

One of my dogs born on Christmas is 15 1/2 years old but his sister did not make it.

II think they got the snow cleared off the roads but it still seems like winter at times.

We had four straight days with “heating degree days” at the end of the week before last...low of 53 last night and barely got warm enough today to count as a “cooling degree day”.

Supposed to get HHH (hazy, hot, & humid) Tuesday - Saturday.
