Today’s daily devotional by Joyce Meyer, Thursday September 19, 2024.
Theme: God’s Choices.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
1 Corinthians 1:27 (NIV)
God delights in choosing and using people that the world would ignore and call useless. He does it so nobody can take the glory or the credit for what He does. Those who think they are intelligent and strong are often put in their place when they witness God using someone they would have rejected and assumed was incapable of doing anything noteworthy.
If you have been slighted by the world, don’t discount yourself from being used by God. His strength is made perfect in your weakness!
Prayer of the Day: Father, please help me to trust and believe that You can and will work through me, and that I can do great things for Your glory. I am so grateful that You use what the world sees as worthless, amen.
Today’s words :
The silence is not a sign that God is not working. He may not be changing the circumstances, but He is changing us. God uses the seasons of silence to get us prepared.
You are not lacking. You’re not at a deficit. You’re in position to see the hand of God do something supernatural. Do your part and give Him what seems insignificant. Small acts of obedience lead to great miracles.
You have to forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. That means don’t let the hurts, the bad breaks, the times you were taken advantage of sour the rest of your life and cause you to live with a chip on your shoulder. God knows how to vindicate you.
