Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 13th August 2025 (Wednesday) Message
TOPIC: God Has the Answer
Of whom have you been so afraid and in dread that you lied and were treacherous and did not [seriously] remember Me, did not even give Me a thought? Have I not been silent, even for a long time, and so you do not fear Me? — Isaiah 57:11 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Babies don’t worry, and they don’t dread things, so why do adults? As babies, we are not responsible for anything, and everything is taken care of for us. As we mature and begin to take on responsibility, we either learn to be confident, placing our trust in God, or we live in fear, worry, and dread. If we don’t look to God and place our trust in Him, we carry a burden that we were never meant to bear alone. We also fall prey to compromising our values.
Worry is simply fear that things won’t work out the way we want them to. But the person who trusts in God has confidence that even if things don’t work out the way she desires, God will have a better plan than she had anyway. Confidence believes that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Confidence in God is absolutely wonderful, because it gives you the confidence that God has answers even when you don’t.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, You have called me according to Your purpose. I believe You have the answers for me in life, and I trust You to reveal them at just the right time, amen.
