Joyce Meyer (December-23-2023) Daily Devotional: Rest and Renew.
We all have gifts and talents far beyond what we use, but many of us are so worn out that we don’t feel like doing anything. Even God rested from all of His labors, not because He was tired, but just to enjoy His creation (See Genesis 2:1–3). Stop working all the time and enjoy yourself.
Even the land needs to rest every several years to produce good crops. If you don’t rest, you are going to cut down your production and stifle your creativity. You don’t have to work at God’s plan for you; He will cause it to come to pass (See Philippians 1:6). Rest in Him.
Prayer of the Day: Father God, help me to recognize my gifts and find rest in Your plan. Please recharge my spirit so that I can fully serve you in the best way possible, amen.
