Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional (November 9, 2024) Embrace a Life of Purpose and Joy,
Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men. Colossians 3:23 (AMPC)
The new covenant of salvation through Jesus Christ is a new way of living. You may be in need of a new life. Perhaps you want a life that is truly filled with purpose, peace, joy, energy, passion, and enthusiasm. If that is the case, you can learn to recognize and follow the Holy Spirit, not people, not man-made rules, and not your own ideas. Jesus said, “Follow Me” (Matthew 4:19).
Only God’s Spirit can energize your life and keep it from stagnating. If you learn to listen to Him, God will lead you in what to do to stay stirred up and enthusiastic about the life He has planned for you.
Living without enthusiasm and joy does not give glory to God. So if you’re merely going through the motions, it’s time to make a change. Give your whole heart passionately to God and His will for your life.
Prayer of the Day: Father, help me embrace the new life You offer through Jesus. Teach me to follow the Holy Spirit and live with purpose, joy, and enthusiasm, amen.
