Joel Osteen Devotional 19 May 2025 Inspirational Message
Today’s Topic: Take Another Look
Scripture: The man looked around. “Yes,” he said, “I see people, but I can’t see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around.” Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly. – Mark 8:24–25, NLT
Today’s Word
In Mark 8, after Jesus put His hands on a blind man’s eyes but he wasn’t healed completely, the man was honest with Jesus. He could have been intimidated and thought, “This is the Son of God. He is a respected healer. I can’t tell Him that my sight is blurred. At least it’s much better than being blind. I need to pretend. I need to act like it’s perfect.” Instead, he was real; he was vulnerable. It took a lot of nerve to say, “Jesus, I can’t see clearly. It’s not what it should be.
I see people walking around but they look like trees.” Jesus didn’t get upset and say, “What’s wrong with you? You need to have more faith. I pray didn’t condemn him. He didn’t make him feel less-than. Jesus just touched him again and said, in effect, “It’s okay. I’m not through with you. I have a second touch.” Don’t give up on the dreams and desires God put in your heart. He has a second touch.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for Your first touch of grace and helping me get to where I am. Thank You for being the God of second touches that push me into the fullness of Your blessings. I declare that I will not miss out on Your best by settling for what hasn’t happened yet. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: It may look like you can’t accomplish your dreams; you don’t have the connections, the experience. You can’t get well; your child is not going to get back on course. There’s no sign of it. That’s when God shows out the most. He’s not waiting for the conditions to be favorable.
The Scripture says, “Even in famine, the righteous will have more than enough.” Don’t put your faith on hold, thinking when everything gets better, then you can be blessed. God is about to bless you in the famine, promote you in the downturn, heal you in the struggle, free you despite what it looks like.
If you had their gifts, their personality, their looks, it wouldn’t help you. It would hinder you. You are equipped for your race. You have the right personality, the right gifts, the right looks. You’re the right height; you come from the right family. You weren’t shortchanged; you’re not at a disadvantage. You’ve been fearfully and wonderfully made. Walk in your anointing, be confident with your gifts, let your personality shine.
