Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 1st February 2026 (Sunday) Message
TOPIC: Wait with Purpose
My [inner] self [as well as my body] is also exceedingly disturbed and troubled. But You, O Lord, how long [until You return and speak peace to me]? Return [to my relief], O Lord, deliver my life; save me for the sake of Your steadfast love and mercy. — Psalm 6:3-4 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Avoid getting negative when you look at your circumstances. Actively wait on God to give you strength to walk in the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23). Wait with purpose, silently listening for Him to speak, eagerly watching for Him to act.
Tell Him, “Lord, I receive strength to be Your ambassador and witness. Your Word tells me to love people who mistreat me. Though it is hard to do in the natural, I receive strength from You to be loving today.”
Then watch for the opportunity to act godly as He gives you strength to do so.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, strengthen me as I wait on You. Help me respond with love, patience, and the fruit of the Spirit, even when circumstances are difficult. Use my life as Your witness today, amen.
