Joyce Meyer Devotional Message – May 25, 2026 Today

Topic: Do Your Own Thinking

Scripture: We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. — 2 Corinthians 10:5 (ESV)

Do you think about what you’re thinking about? Learning to regularly take inventory of our thoughts is essential to having a good life. Instead of being “unthinking” people, we can train ourselves to think about what’s going on in our minds.

It was a glorious revelation for me when I realized I don’t have to think about just anything that comes into my mind. I can choose my thoughts and do my own thinking—on purpose. I can deliberately choose to think positive, faith-filled thoughts that line up with God’s Word.

If your mood begins to sink or you have a bad attitude, take an inventory of your current thoughts, and you will very likely find the culprit. Negative thinking not only makes you upset and bitter, but it also prevents God from working in your life. We receive from God through faith, and faith is always positive.

You don’t have to sit by passively and let the enemy fill your mind with poisonous and destructive thoughts. Instead, you can learn to recognize them, and with God’s help, you can think about something else that will be beneficial.
Make a decision to think and say the right things—things that line up with the Word of God.

Prayer of the Day: Father God, help me recognize when my thoughts aren’t my own so that I can take them captive and replace them with thoughts that are beneficial. Help me think with the mind of Christ, amen.
