Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 15th July 2026 (Wednesday) Message
TOPIC: Live in the Now
But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!
— Matthew 14:27 (AMPC)
This was Jesus’ response to the disciples when they encountered a storm while out in a boat. He was saying, “I AM here for you right now, and you must have faith now that everything is going to be all right.”
That is how you should be living your life—with a “now” faith. Today you can have faith that yesterday and all of its mistakes can be taken care of by God. You can also have faith today that tomorrow will be taken care of when it arrives. But don’t waste today worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. Jesus is the great “I Am” and He is here for you today!
God wants you to live for today. Worrying about yesterday or tomorrow steals today. But the great I AM has given you just enough grace for today. Grace for yesterday is all used up and grace for tomorrow will not come until tomorrow. So use the favor and power of the Holy Spirit to do His will right now.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: God, help me stop worrying about yesterday and tomorrow. Teach me to trust You fully today and walk in faith and peace right now, amen.
