Joel Osteen Devotional 10th April 2025 Inspirational Message
Today’s Topic: Cover Your Heart
Scripture: So then, take your stand! Fasten truth around your waist like a belt. Put on God’s approval as your breastplate. Ephesians 6:14, GW
Today’s Word
No matter how you feel every morning, no matter how many mistakes you made yesterday or how many weaknesses you’re dealing with now, you need to put on the breastplate of God’s approval. “God, thank You that You approve me, that You accept me, that You love me.” When you put on that approval, chains of insecurity, low self-esteem, condemnation, and guilt are broken.
There’s a freedom when you know you’ve been approved by God. You are the apple of His eye. He created you in His own image. Don’t go through life feeling wrong inside. You’re not a finished product. God is still working on you. He doesn’t say, “I’ll approve you when you perform perfectly.” God approves you right where you are. He may not approve what you did, but that’s not who you are. He approves you.
You don’t have to work to try to gain God’s approval. You already have it by His grace. You have to shake off the disapproval and remind yourself, “I’ve been approved by the One who matters most. God is pleased with me.”
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that I can put on the breastplate of Your approval to cover my heart because You have made me righteous through Christ Jesus. Thank You that I can shake off the disapproval and feel good about who I am. I believe that You are pleased with me today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: A small act of obedience can lead to a big blessing. It may be forgiving the person who did you wrong. Or forgiving yourself for mistakes you’ve made. It may mean getting up in the morning and emptying out the low self-esteem, the insecurity, and reminding yourself who God says you are. A small act can change your life. Maybe it’s to quit hanging around that friend who’s causing you to compromise.
Or not listening to all the negative news while driving to work that’s causing you to be mad at the world. Instead, put on something uplifting, inspiring, that gives you hope and victory. Do what you can, and God will do what you can’t. You make a move and He’ll multiply your steps. You lift up your head, and He’ll turn things around that you thought were permanent.
God is not limited. He controls the universe. When you believe, all things are possible. In the natural, we may be stuck, but God is supernatural. He makes streams in the desert. He brings water out of a rock. He parts Red Seas. Peter caught a fish that had a coin in it to pay his taxes. God is not scratching his head trying to figure out how to get you unstuck.
He’s going to do things that you never saw coming, that exceed your expectations, explosive blessings that catapult you into your destiny. Don’t come up with all the reasons you can’t get out of debt, you can’t get well, you’ll never go further in your career, that child of yours will always be off course. Do yourself a favor. Lift up your head. Have a new perspective. “God, I don’t see a way, but I know You have a way.”
