Today's meditation with JoyceMeyer

God Will Fight for You by Joyce Meyer - August 12, 2014

Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. The Lord your God Who goes before you, He will fight for you just as He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God bore you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place. —Deuteronomy 1:29–31

Dread is expecting something unpleasant to happen, and it has
nothing to do with faith. Faith looks forward to something good. I believe dread is very deceptive.

Because sometimes it is so subtle that it is imperceptible, it
becomes a significant problem that people really need to consider in their lives and see just how it afflicts them. The instant you begin to dread something, your joy starts to go and a “down feeling” sets in. Everything about the devil is down. It is all doom and gloom, depressing and discouraging, negative and yucky.

Don’t dread anything, but instead face everything with courage
and believe you can do anything you need to do and do it with a
good attitude.

We know that lack of confidence, worry, dread, and other
tormenting emotions are rooted in fear. Fear is the source of these
problems, but you can stop fear. Listen and obey the word of the
Lord, and He will fight for you.
Lord, all the dreads that come my way today are no match for You.
I thank You that I can face them with boldness and overcome them
with joy. Amen.
