Diligent From the book by Joyce Meyer Devotional
Daily Devo
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.
— 2 Peter 1:10 (NKJV)
To be diligent means to be constant in effort or exertion to accomplish what is undertaken.
Many people are unhappy because they only want to do things that are easy or convenient. This saddens me because these people often cheat themselves out of the rewards God has for them simply because they want to avoid difficulty. However, if we are willing to let God help us do our best, we will reap great benefits.
God wants to bless you in many ways. Sometimes you may go through difficulties first, but there is always blessing on the other side. Remember, you never have to do it in your own strength—you can always rely on His strength to see you through. If you refuse to give up, you’ll overcome every challenge and receive God’s best for your life.
