Joyce Meyer Devotional 13 January 2019 – Let God Do The Heavy Lifting
Topic: Let God Do the Heavy Lifting
Memorise: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5(KJV)
Today’s Joyce Meyer Devotional 13 January 2019
One of the most important things I have learned is to let God do the heavy lifting. Too many times we see what’s wrong with ourselves and try to fix it through our own strength, but this will never be good enough. Jesus said in John 15:5, “Apart from me you can do nothing” (NIV).
We may try to be self-sufficient, but we need to let God supply the grace and ability to do what we need to do. Willpower and determination can get us started, but they’ve been known to quit in the middle and leave us stranded. Joyce Meyer Devotional 13 January 2019
We can learn to enjoy the life Jesus died to give us by inviting God to become involved in every aspect of it. Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew11:28 NIV).
We are not made to function without God. And with Him, we can break any bad habit or addiction, like overeating, substance abuse, poor time management, anger issues, you name it. Jesus is bigger than any problem you have.
Prayer Starter: God, I know that I’m nothing without You, so I invite You into every area of my life. I’ll let You do the heavy lifting, following and trusting You every day.
