JOEL OSTEEN DAILY 20TH MARCH 2022 DEVOTIONAL

TODAY’S TOPIC: COMPLETELY ASTONISHED

Joel Osteen Live Sunday Sermon 20 March 2022 Service

Today’s Scripture: Mark 5:36, ESV
But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”

Today’s Word
In Mark 5, after Jesus told a synagogue leader named Jairus that He would come to his house and heal his dying daughter, He was delayed with the healing of a woman who had been sick for twelve years. While I’m sure that Jairus was amazed by the healing and happy for the woman, his daughter died in the meantime, dashing his hopes. But Jesus reassured him that He would do what He had promised. This man came to Jesus asking for healing, but because of the delay, he received a greater miracle, a resurrection that left everyone “completely astonished.”

When you have to wait a long time, don’t get discouraged. God hasn’t forgotten about you. The circumstances may tell you it’s never going to happen, but God has something bigger, something better, something you weren’t expecting. Like for this man, He’s going to do something where not only you, but the people around you are going to be astonished, amazed, and overwhelmed at the goodness of God. Don’t be afraid. Only believe.

Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that no matter what happens in my life, no matter what seems delayed, You will do what You have promised. Thank You that I can get my hopes up and know that You have something bigger and better than I’ve expected. I will not be afraid. I will believe. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
