Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 10th May 2026 (Sunday) Message
TOPIC: The Lord Is with You
The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 118:6 (NIV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
When the psalmist David wrote in today’s scripture I will not be afraid, I don’t think he meant he didn’t feel fear. I think he is declaring that when he did feel afraid, he did not let fear control him. Each of us should have that same attitude. In fact, it’s the best possible attitude for a person to have. Fear is not from God, and we should resist it firmly in the power of the Holy Spirit. We may be aware of it, but we should not let it affect our decisions.
In Matthew 28:20 (NIV), Jesus tells His disciples, And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. This is not only a promise Jesus made to His disciples centuries ago; it is a vitally important promise from God for you and me today. There’s no place you have ever been where God was not, and no place you’ll ever be that God won’t be there too. He is omnipresent, which means He is everywhere all the time. He sees everything, knows everything, and has all power. He is our Father, and we are His beloved children.
God wants us to know that we don’t have to be afraid of anything or anyone, because He is with us. He is good and will take care of us. As David wrote, “What can mere mortals do to me?” People may try to intimidate you or frighten you, but they are mere mortals. God is all-powerful, and people are powerless compared to Him.
Prayer of the Day: Help me, Lord, to remember always that because You are with me, I don’t have to be afraid of anyone or anything, amen.
