Joyce Meyer Devotional 31st December 2024, Tuesday Message
TOPIC: Ministry Is Fulfilling Work
For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you. – Psalm 128:2 (AMPC)
There is nothing more fulfilling than being rested and ready for the work that God has called us to do. God puts the desire in us to minister to people through whatever work we do. But ministry is work that requires physical, emotional, and spiritual strength.
Hard work is rewarding when you follow God’s way and minister to other people through “the labor of your hands.” That is why it is so important to start your day with God. His presence will build you up emotionally, His words will strengthen you spiritually, and the time of rest that He calls you to enjoy will make you physically able to handle whatever may come your way.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Father God, thank You for Your presence in my life. Thank You for the rest I enjoyed, and give me the strength to minister to others, in whatever way You have for me to minister to them today and every day, amen.
