Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 5th August 2025 (Tuesday) Message
TOPIC: Look Forward to the Future
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him.
— 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)
Today’s verse is a very exciting scripture. God’s plans for us are so wonderful that we cannot even imagine them! Believing this allows us to live with hope—the aggressive expectation that something good is going to happen.
For too many years, I lived with evil foreboding, which is the expectation that something bad will surely happen.
This type of thinking can easily take hold of someone who has had a lot of pain or misfortune in life. That was me. Because I had been abused during my childhood and married the wrong man at the age of 18, the first 23 years of my life were one long series of disappointments. I grew to expect trouble, but thankfully, God has taught me that He is good and is ready to do good things in my life, as He is in yours.
What is the most wonderful thing you can imagine God doing for you? Now remember that He can do even more than that. God has good things prepared for His children, and I encourage you to wait for them with expectancy.
Prayer of the Day: Father, You are good beyond anything I can describe, and I am grateful for Your blessings. I am excited to see what You will do in my future. In Jesus’ name, amen.
