Joyce Meyer Devotional 15th November 2024, Friday Message
TOPIC: Enjoy Life Like a Child
Unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 18:3 (AMPC)
As a believer you can have the abundant quality of life that comes from God. He is not impatient or in a hurry. He takes time to enjoy His creation, the works of His hands. And He wants you to do the same.
Joy is available to you if you know how to tap into it. I have learned that simplicity brings joy and complication blocks it. Instead of getting entangled with the complications of religion, you must return to the simplicity of believing and maintaining a Father/child relationship.
God wants you to approach life with childlike faith. He wants you to grow up in your behavior but remain childlike in your attitude of trust and dependence on Him.
Living your life with the simplicity of a child will change your whole outlook in a most amazing way.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me embrace the simplicity of childlike faith. Teach me to find joy in Your creation and to trust in Your goodness every single day, amen.
