Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 2 April 2026 (Thursday) Message
TOPIC: Don’t Give Up on Doing Good
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. — Galatians 6:9-10 (NIV)
When we do what is right and good for a long time, and believe we are sowing good seed but not reaping a good harvest, we can become frustrated. But Paul urges us to not grow weary of doing good. We should not do good simply to receive a reward but because it is right. This may mean treating someone well for a long time before they begin to treat us well in return. They may never treat us well, but our reward comes from God, not from other human beings. When we look to people for appreciation or affirmation, we may be disappointed, but God never forgets what we have done, and He knows exactly how to bless us.

Part of verse 10 of today’s scripture in the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition, offers an instruction that has changed my life. It reads, Be mindful to be a blessing. To be mindful means to have your mind full of something or to purposefully think about it.
Developing the habit of thinking intentionally about ways to bless other people has greatly added to my joy. I encourage you to ask God to show you how you can bless specific people in your life. I believe He will. Learn to listen to people, because they often mention in conversation what they need, like, or want. If you are able, then try to do it for them.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Father, help me not grow weary in doing good. Fill my mind with ways to bless others, trust You for my reward, and give with joy, patience, and love, amen.
