Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional August 19, 2026 Wednesday Message
TOPIC: How to Finish What God Called You to Do
Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work.
— John 4:34 (AMPC)
I believe the Lord wants us to finish whatever He calls us to do, even when it requires patience, perseverance, and hard work. God wants us to grow roots and learn to endure until the fruit of His promise is manifested.
Be willing to endure patiently to see God’s plan take place in your life. If God has given you a vision of something He wants you to accomplish, keep doing whatever He has given you to do, even when the excitement for the work is over, and all the goose bumps are gone. If you don’t have a vision, ask God to show you something that you need to do, and then commit your work to the Lord until it is completed.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, please give me the patience and endurance to finish what You’ve called me to do. And when the excitement fades, help me stay rooted in Your promise and committed to Your plan, amen.
