JOYCE MEYER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR NOVEMBER 22, 2022 (BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES)
TOPIC : BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES
Today’s Scripture: I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. – Psalm 34:1 (AMPC)
MESSAGE
At times it seems like the whole world lives
in fear and dread, but God’s children should
not. We are to behave differently from the
people of the world; we should let our light
shine.
I never considered driving down the street
to get a cup of coffee to be a huge privilege
until after I had been hospitalized with breast cancer and had surgery.
When I was released, I asked my husband to take me out for a coffee and a drive through a local park.
It was amazing how much joy I felt. I was doing a very simple thing that was previously available to me every day, yet I
had never seen it as a privilege.
Our son went on an outreach with a team
of people who go visit the homeless each
Friday evening, and after helping in this
ministry, he was appalled at himself for the
things he had murmured about in the past
once he saw, by comparison, how some
people were living. We would all feel exactly
the same way.
Those without a place to live would love to have a house to clean, while we dread cleaning ours. They would delight in having a car to drive, even an old one, while we complain about needing to wash ours or take it in for an oil change.
The point is, most of the time we lose sight
of how blessed we are, but we should work
at keeping it in the front of our thinking. Be
thankful you can do anything in Christ, and
don’t dread things you have to do.
Prayer Of The Day: Thank You, Father, that
through You I can face anything that comes
my way today with peace, joy, and gratitude
in my heart. Most of all, I’m thankful for
Jesus and the finished work of the cross,
amen.
