Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 3 April 2026 (Saturday) Message
TOPIC: You Can’t Drive a Parked Car
Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word. – Psalm 119:133 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
People often ask, “How do I know what God wants me to do with my life?” Some spend many years being totally immobile because they are waiting to hear a voice from heaven telling them what to do. My best advice to anyone in this position is to simply do something. Do what you think God might be calling you to do and if you make a mistake, He will help you correct it. Don’t spend your life so afraid of making a mistake that you never try to obey what you believe God has spoken to you. I like to say, you can’t drive a parked car. You need to be moving if you want God to show you which way to go. He has no need to say to you. “Turn left” if you are not going anywhere. But if you are moving, He can give you directions.

Let me insert a word of wisdom here. There are certainly times when we need to be still, wait on God, pray, and not take immediate action. But that does not apply to every situation. There are times when the only way we can discover God’s will is to get moving in a certain direction and let Him speak to us and lead us as we go. If you are going in the wrong direction, He ill close that door and open another one.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Lord, give me courage to move forward in faith. Guide my steps, correct my mistakes, and help me trust that You will lead me as I obey and follow You, amen.
