TODAY’S JOYCE MEYER DEVOTIONAL 14 OCTOBER 2022, FRIDAY

TOPIC: THE STEADFAST AND DILIGENT

SCRIPTURE: …In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world. [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] John 16:33 (AMP)

Many people live lives far short of God’s best because they expect things to always be convenient or easy. But this false expectation will always cheat us out of the rewards God has for us simply because we want to avoid difficulty.

Jesus never promised things would be easy, but He did promise us victory, because He has overcome the world. If we don’t get weary of doing what is right, we will reap great benefits. God is a loving Father, and He wants to bless you in so many ways. Sometimes you may go through difficulties first, but there are always blessings on the other side. Remember, you can always rely on His strength to see you through, because He has overcome the world.

Prayer of the Day: Lord, please give me to keep going and not to give up. Help me overcome every challenge that comes my way, and give me Your strength to persevere, amen.
