Topic: Pull the Weed Before It Takes Root – Joyce Meyer Devotional 27 April    2023

From the book Quiet Times with God – by Joyce Meyer

There are good seeds and bad ones, things we do and do not want to get rooted in our lives.

When a seed is planted, it takes a while before it has long, strong roots. Should the seed be dug up and discarded before it has opportunity to take root, there would never be any fruit from it.

When we experience a thought, an emotion, a behavior, or a fear that we don’t want to become a permanent fixture, the best thing to do is resist it at its onset. Be aggressive in confronting it and firm in your decision not to give in to it. Always remember that the longer you let something linger, the longer it will take to get rid of it.

Don’t merely submit to a negative emotion without a fight, but when you fight, always remember to fight in God’s power and not your own.

Prayer of the Day: Dear Lord, please help me to be aware of the seeds that are being planted in my life. Give me strength to resist negative thoughts and behaviors, and to fight them with your power. Help me to not let anything linger that I do not want to take root in my life, amen.
