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. so we can accomplish all that God wants us to.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

I want to start with Ephesians 5, verse 14.

Thank you, Lord, for the word tonight.

I pray that you would use it to impact people in many different ways.

Different people are going to hear lots of different things.

And I thank you for speaking to everybody, including me in Jesus' name.

Ephesians 514 through 17 are a group of scriptures that have always impressed me.

They have a lot of meaning in them. Remember now before I start this that he was

talking to the church at Ephesus. He was talking to born-again people. He says, Awakeo sleeper and arise from the dead.

I wonder how that would be to start a conference.

Wake up, you sleepy Christians, and arise from the dead.

But you know sometimes that's the truth.

We just kind of go through life and we go through church and we go to church and we can stop

being excited about God and stop being excited about our lives and stop being

excited about everything if we don't learn to live life on

purpose and be happy on purpose and have joy on purpose and have peace on purpose

amen. See now not everybody's like this, but I think that there's a lot of people who just sit around and wait for something to come to them all the time.
