Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 28 April 2026 (Tuesday) TOPIC: Choose Truth Over Feelings
Whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8 (NKJV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
For many people, their security, peace, and joy are connected to their circumstances. If things are going well, they feel loved, but if they are not going well, then they think God doesn’t love them or that they are being punished for some sin they committed.
We are called to be led by the Word of God and the Spirit, especially concerning our thought life. We are not to be led by our soul (mind, will, and emotions). We may not be able to control what thoughts pop into our minds or what feelings arise in our hearts, but we can control what we do with those thoughts or feelings. We can be led by the Holy Spirit.
We don’t have to let negative, destructive feelings rule our lives; instead, we can take authority over our emotions, submit them to God, and choose to stand on the Word of God.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me not be ruled by emotions or circumstances. Teach me to submit my thoughts and feelings to You and follow Your Word and Spirit, amen.
