Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 31st January 2026 (Saturday) Message
TOPIC: Fellowship with God
In the night my soul longs for You [O Lord], indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; for [only] when Your judgments are experienced on the earth will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. – Isaiah 26:9 (AMP)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Nothing can satisfy our longing for God except communion and fellowship with Him. Isaiah expressed well our own hunger for God when he wrote, In the night my soul longs for You [O Lord], indeed my spirit within me seeks You diligently…(Isaiah 26:9 AMP). Isaiah needed quiet times with God, and so do we.
Hearing from God is vital to enjoying His eternal plan for our lives. Listening to God is our decision; no one else can make it for us. God won’t force us to choose His will, but He will do everything He can to encourage us to say yes to His ways.
This means God wants to be involved in even the smallest details of our lives. His Word tells us to acknowledge Him in all our ways, and He will direct our paths (Proverbs 3:6). To acknowledge God is to care what He thinks and to ask for His opinion. If you do this on a daily basis, you’ll find His guidance and walk in a much closer relationship with Him.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me seek You daily and listen for Your voice. Teach me to acknowledge You in every decision and trust that You will guide my steps in wisdom, amen.
