Everyday with Joyce Meyer

You were wearied with the length of your way [in trying to find rest and satisfaction in alliances apart from the true God], yet you did not say, There is no result or profit.
— John 15:11
There seems to be a great lack of simplicity in society today, even among Christians. Somehow life gets so complicated it eventually drains you of your energy and produces frustration and fatigue.

One translation of the first line of this verse from Isaiah is, "You are wearied out through the multiplicity of your ways." The answer for the problem of multiplicity is a return to simplicity.

In our modern society, we think that more is always better. But the writer of Ecclesiastes warns that the more your goods increase, the more complicated your life becomes (see Ecclesiastes 5:11-12).

Instead of making everything so difficult, why don't you decide to simplify your life and enjoy the rest and satisfaction that comes through following God's plan?
