Joyce Meyer Devotional 29th December 2024, Sunday Message
TOPIC: The Choice Is Yours
…Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…. Joshua 24:15 (AMPC)
The first step in doing anything is choosing to do it. In order to encourage someone, you first choose to look for the best. In order to be at peace, you first choose not to worry. In order to start something new, you first choose to step out and go for it.
You may not know how it’s all going to work out, but you can make some foundational choices today. Begin by saying, “Today I choose peace over fear! Today I choose to break that old habit and start a good one! Today I choose not to lash out in anger! Today I choose not to live in the past!”
Make a choice, take a step, and never forget to ask for God’s help (His grace) in executing your choice. We can do all things with and through Him, but we can do nothing without Him (see Philippians 4:13).
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me to choose to respond to whatever comes my way today, in the way You would have me respond. Help me to replace worry with trust. I know You are always with me, amen.
