TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 27TH FEBRUARY 2025 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 27th February 2025, Thursday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Don’t Worry, Be Blessed
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. – Psalm 1:1
At the 1989 Grammy Awards, the song of the year, record of the year, and best male pop vocal performance awards went to a catchy a cappella song called “Don’t Worry, Be Happy:” In spite of its many awards, the song was panned by a number of critics
If only being happy was as simple as choosing to be happy! From a biblical perspective, the song misses a critical
point: Happiness is a by-product of other choices in life. We don’t obtain happiness by seeking it. Rather, we find happiness by seeking God and conforming our lives to His plan, purposes, and will. As Psalm 1 says, we are blessed (happy) when we avoid the counsel of a world that rejects God.
And we find happiness when we delight ourselves in His Word and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:1-2).
“Don’t worry” is good advice, to be followed by committing everything to God in prayer (Philippians 4:6).
TURNING POINT
Worry is an indication that we think God cannot look after us.
Oswald Chambers
