Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 13th January 2018
Topic: Take Down the “Do Not Disturb” Sign
Key Verse: Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. – Romans 8:37
Message: I frequently stay in hotels when I’m traveling for ministry purposes. When I am in my room, I usually put the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door so nobody will bother me. Hanging this sign on my hotel room door is acceptable. But putting it on my life isn’t.
Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional: More Than Conquerors
Have you ever noticed that God doesn’t always do things on our timetable or in ways that are convenient for us? Paul told Timothy that as a servant of God and a minister of the Gospel, he needed to fulfill his duties whether it was convenient for him or not.
I doubt Timothy was nearly as addicted to convenience as we are today. But if he needed to hear that, then I’m sure we need to hear it frequently.
It’s so easy to put a “Do Not Disturb” sign over our hearts for fear that God’s call will inconvenience us, but we miss out on so many great opportunities when we do this. We need to remember that whatever God asks us to do, it’s always worth any inconvenience or difficulty we face in the process. And He will always make a way for us to accomplish His will when we are obedient to Him.
Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional: Are You Following the Holy Spirit or Your Emotions?
Prayer: God, I choose today to take down the “Do Not Disturb” sign over my heart. Even if it feels like an inconvenience to me, I want to obey You and do what You ask me to do. Amen!
