Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 29 April 2026 (Wednesday) TOPIC: Lift Your Eyes Higher
The Lord said to Abram after Lot had left him, Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward. — Genesis 13:14 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
In Genesis 13, we see that Abram (whom God later renamed Abraham) had a good attitude—a generous and giving attitude—toward his nephew, Lot. Abram had a right to the land, but he told Lot to choose his portion, and Lot chose the best land for himself. God then told Abram to look from the place where he was. God didn’t say to look at where he was; He said to look from it—beyond it—to all God had in store for him. God had a plan for Abram, even though he had just experienced great loss.
Anytime you need encouragement, you can turn to Jeremiah 29:11 and get it: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (NIV). God wants you to have hope. He’s got a good plan for your life.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me trust Your plan even when I experience loss. Give me a generous heart, lift my eyes beyond today, and fill me with hope for the future You promised, amen.
