Joyce Meyer

You know, I just love Joyce Meyer. She says things in such a simple-down-to-earth way. She also 'cuts to the chase' in her book "Starting Your Day Right."
I have taken this little devotional book with me everywhere I've been since I purchased it in 2003 or 2004......not sure about the date, but I do know that it's been to China, Thailand, Taiwan, Poland, Hungary, Ecuador, Lithuania, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Japan, and of course the good old U.S.A.
I've read it day-by-day and been encouraged by her daily scriptures, personal words of encouragement, prayers, and insights.
Each morning I read Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost For His Highest", "Daily Bread", and "Starting Your Day Right" by Joyce Meyer, and of course the Holy Bible....God's own Word for me.
They all give me a lot to ponder, they all seem to have a special message for the reader-yet Joyce Meyer speaks to the heart of women.
She understands the daily struggles of the 'average' woman-old or young. I am not into being concerned with a 'special doctrine, teaching, or belief' I am only concerned with what the Bible says.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I have examined the Bible-for many years actually looking for any contradictions!!!
I have to honestly say "I FOUND NONE!"
IF you THINK you have found one-maybe you are not being led by the Holy Spirit. I know from personal experience that if you ask God to show you what each scripture means and study with the clear intent of seeking the TRUTH-you WILL find it!
I would challenge anyone......atheist, sceptic, confused......anyone to ask God for guidance-seek the truth and HE will reveal it to you.
Reading wonderful and encouraging devotionals are helpful in whetting your 'spiritual appetite' but we need so much more....we need God's Word to live the abundant life.......when I say abundant-I'm NOT talking fleshly desires-I'm talking 'spiritual abundance'
There are no riches on earth to compare with the riches of God's love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness!
Start your day right....go to God in humble adoration, thanksgiving, and praise....and love Him, seek Him with all your heart and you WILL find Him-He Is Nigh....The Word Is Nigh!
