Devotional Reflection & Prayer (Transcript)
Today’s devotional is inspired by Trusting God Day by Day by Joyce Meyer (365 Daily Devotionals) — what I like is that you can go to the date where she gives you the title, a short scripture, and then how she’s interpreted it or how you can apply it to your own life… (how she’s applying it to herself)
Talk about the good stuff.
Daily Devotional:
But I tell you on the day of judgment, men will have to give account for every Idle inoperative, and non-working word they speak. Matthew 12:36
It seems to me that we talk about how we feel more than practically anything else. We feel good or bad, happy or sad, excited or discouraged, and a thousand other things. The inventory of the various ways — how we feel is endless. Feelings are ever-changing, usually without notification. These feelings don’t need our permission to fluctuate. They merely seem to do as they please for no specific reason that we can identify.
We have all experienced going to bed feeling just fine physically and emotionally only to wake up the next morning feeling tired and irritable. Why? Why do I feel this way? We ask ourselves and then we usually begin to tell anyone who will listen. And how we feel. It’s interesting to note that we tend to talk a lot more about our negative feelings than we do our positive feelings.
If I wake up feeling energetic and excited about the day, I rarely announce to everyone I come in contact with. However, if I feel tired and discouraged, I wanna tell everyone.
It has taken me years to learn that talking about how I feel increases the intensity of those feelings. So it seems to me that we should keep quiet about the negative feelings and talk about the positive ones.
You can always tell God how you feel and ask for his help and strength. But talking about negative feelings, just to be talking does no good at all. If negative feelings persist, ask for prayer or seeking advice based on biblical truth is a good thing. But once again, I want to stress that talking. Just to be talking is useless.
If we have to wait to see how we feel before we know if we can enjoy the day, then we are giving feelings control over us. But if we are willing to make the right choices regardless of how we feel, God will always be faithful to give us the strength to do so. Trust in Him. How are you feeling? If your feelings are positive, tell someone if they’re negative. Tell God and trust in him to work things out regardless of how you feel. Choose to enjoy your day!
This is EXACTLY how I get a little bit of that Jesus juice whenever I’m sipping my morning coffee, pray and go about my day — just one of those little daily devotionals that I use, and you can too!
