Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series, Living on Purpose or a Purpose.

Each day God gives us is precious and once it's gone we can never get it back.

We can all make a decision to use our time wisely so we can accomplish all that God wants us to.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

And today we're in the second message and this message is called Be Careful

how you Live. We need to live carefully. This is about living your life on purpose for a purpose.

It's about having a direction and setting your mind toward that

direction and going for it. It's about getting rid of a I wish I had attitude to I'm going to seize the day and I'm going to go for it

It's about finding out what you believe God wants you to do and being persistent.

I'm going to jump over here to another page and I want to read something to you that I wrote down

that has been very, very important to me. Being an on-purpose person,

I've been after this for about three, four years

and I've done some other teaching along these lines,

but I wanted to get it in a book.

The realization that I could not wait to feel like doing a thing or think it was a good idea

or even necessarily want to do it before I took action was life changing for me.

Now I want to say it again. I want to make sure you get it.

Let me say it a little differently.

If you wait to feel like doing a thing before you do it or to think it's a good idea or to even

want to you won't do the will of God you'll miss a lot of things that God is

telling you to do and our society today is very much feeling oriented
