JOY in Our Life: When is the Last Time You enJOYed a Banquet?

February 18, 2016

It is going on towards lunch time and I am hungry but because of a heavy schedule today have not a lot of time to prepare something. Two days ago we thoroughly enJOYed a two hour lunch at my all time favourite place to dine – the Mandarin Restaurant all-you-can-eat Chinese and western food buffet spread. I get SO excited when I eat there and JOY bubbles up within me and the memory stays with me for days and even weeks. But, I cannot exist on memories. My body needs daily re-filling. The same is true spiritually. Have you had a daily fill up of your tank by speaking with God and reading His word? Do you enJOY a spiritual banquet with the people of God at least once a week in the house of the Lord so that your JOY may be full? If not, why not?
