I have to say, I don’t think my life is a complete mess, but I have certainly been through messy times, just like everyone else. One of my favorite Christian authors is taking on this topic in her new release as she guides us through dealing with the mess in our lives with God right along side for the ride!
Check out my thoughts on this release below.
Blessed in This Mess by Joyce Meyer
Publisher: FaithWords (September 12, 2023)
ISBN-13: 978-1546037347
OVERVIEW:
Life is often messy. We hear people say, “My life is a mess,” or “This situation is a mess.” What they mean is that life has become difficult, painful or confusing. But God never promised us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (NIV).
In Blessed in the Mess, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances. The Bible is filled with instructions on how to handle ourselves when difficulty comes our way, and Blessed in the Mess shares that wisdom through poignant and practical teaching that equips us to remain stable and hopeful in every situation. No matter what problems we may face, there is a way to remain joyful and patient as God works on them. If you have not handled the messy issues or challenges in your life well in the past, then with God’s help, you can begin to manage them better, starting now.
We should never waste our pain. Through the wisdom distilled in this book, we can learn how to gain something from our messes, use those insights to avoid trouble in the future, and share our experiences to help other people find blessings in the midst of their messes.
Blessed in This Mess by Joyce Meyer Review
Nobody’s life is perfect. If it was and we had no adversity, it would kind of be a little boring, don’t you think?
I’ve had my share of messes. But learning to lean on God during those troubled times helped it not be as difficult as it could be otherwise.
Meyer leads us through dealing with our messy lives in a positive and uplifting manner in this new release. I love her stories and her analogies. Plus, I love the fact that she always ties everything to the perfect versus supporting her message.
There’s such peace in her writing that you become confident that you have better tools to deal with the next set of issues that pop up weekly, if not daily sometimes.
Blessed in This Mess also has a beautiful cover and it offers a really strong message on how to move forward with peace and grace while leaning on God‘s word.
Comforting and uplifting, this book is perfect for anyone who needs to hear how to manage life in a complex world. Meyer always brings us straightforward and beautiful words of wisdom.
