Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 8 July 2024, Monday Message
TOPIC: The Heart of an Eagle
That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you…. 2 Timothy 1:6 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Do you ever feel like an eagle in a chicken yard? You know in your heart that there is much more within you than you are experiencing and expressing in your life right now. You feel certain God has a great purpose for your life—and you cannot escape or ignore the inner urge to “go for it.”
I encourage you today to fan the flame inside you. Fan it until it burns brightly. Never give up on the greatness for which you were created, and never try to hide your uniqueness. Instead, be thankful for it, and be thankful that God has something special in store. Realize your hunger for adventure is God-given; wanting to try something new is a wonderful desire; and embracing life and aiming high is what you were made for. You are an eagle!
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Father, thank You for placing only good things within me. Help me to pursue the purpose you have for my life, and guide me toward the unique gifts You have blessed me with, amen.
