Joel Osteen Devotional 12th July 2025 Inspirational Saturday Message
Topic: Even in the Dark Places
Scripture: “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house.” – Hebrews 3:5, NIV
Today’s Word
Throughout the Scripture, every person who did something great went through dark places. Moses made a mistake and killed an Egyptian man. He spent forty lonely years on the back side of the desert, feeling as though he had blown it. But in that dark place something was being shaped in his life. He was being prepared, developing patience, humility, strength, and trust. Without the dark place, Moses would never have held up his rod and parted the Red Sea. He would never have led the Israelites out of slavery and toward the Promised Land.
The dark place was a prerequisite for his stepping into the fullness of his destiny, and it’s a prerequisite for us as well. It’s in the dark places where your character is developed, where you learn to trust God and to persevere, and where your spiritual muscles are made strong. In the dark places you pray more, you draw closer to God, you reevaluate your priorities, and you take time to get quiet and listen to what He’s saying. In that dark place you are being blessed.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for the changes You want to make in my life that will only be shaped and molded in dark places. Thank You for using the times of darkness to build my character and to draw me closer to You. I will rely on You in the dark places. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: David said in Psalm 65, “God will crown the year with a bountiful harvest, even the hard places will overflow with abundance.” This overflow is not just to accomplish dreams, not just to go further, but you’re going to see overflow in the hard places. Maybe you’re facing an illness, you’re raising a difficult child, you’re dealing with a tough time at work. That is not going to defeat you. You’re going to overflow with strength, overflow with wisdom, overflow with health, overflow with favor.
