Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 16th October 2025 (Thursday) Message
TOPIC: Be Thoughtful on Purpose
…[Thoughtfully and attentively] consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest Whom we confessed [as ours when we embraced the Christian faith]. – Hebrews 3:1 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Since our thoughts do affect the way we relate to people and the world around us, it is helpful to learn to be thoughtful.
Take time to think through your day before you begin it. Of course, we don’t know everything a day will hold, but we all, hopefully, have some plan. Being thoughtful about your day on purpose is very different from worrying about it. Being thoughtful about the parts of your day that you know about helps you behave the way that pleases God instead of just reacting to things out of a thoughtless habit.
Things will happen today that you are not planning, but you can even plan to respond calmly to things that are unexpected. Whatever you do, plan to enjoy it! Today is a gift from God, and I urge you not to waste it.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me think ahead with wisdom and live each day with calmness and purpose. Teach me to respond thoughtfully and gratefully, remembering that every day is Your gift, amen.
