Joel Osteen Devotional 23 June 2025 Inspirational Monday Message
Today’s Topic: Again and Again
Scripture: The Eternal One showed his favor toward Hannah again, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and her son Samuel grew up in the presence of the Eternal One.
1 Samuel 2:21, VOICE
Today’s Word
Hannah had been married for many years but remained barren. She came to a place of deep distress and cried out to God. In response to Hannah’s passionate prayers, the Lord gave her a baby boy named Samuel whom she dedicated to the service of the house of God.
That could have been a wonderful end to the story, but God likes to exceed our expectations. She asked for one son, but look at God’s goodness. He said, in effect, “Hannah, you’re satisfied, but I’m not. I’m going to show you My favor again and again and bring you more children than you ever imagined.”
What you’re believing for may not have happened yet. It may be taking a long time, it may be discouraging, but as with Hannah, God is faithful. He’s not only still going to bring it to pass—that would be good enough—but God is going to do more than you asked. He’s going to visit you again and again with His favor. He’s going to show out in another way. You’ve had your Samuel, but it’s just the start.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You know best when it comes to the things I desire and ask You for. Thank You that You keep doors closed and take me through challenges I don’t understand, but You also open doors wider than I can ever imagine. I believe that You will show me Your favor again and again. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Jesus came to give us life greater than we could ever imagine. No matter the circumstances, His promise is guaranteed. But we need to believe. God will never ask you to do something and not give you the ability to do it. He wouldn’t have told the Israelites to go into the Promised Land if those giants were going to defeat them. The truth is the giants didn’t defeat them; their grasshopper image defeated them. This was about to happen with Jeremiah. He saw himself as not able, limited, lacking. God said to him in verse 11, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
God had just prophesied an amazing future, that Jeremiah would leave his mark, that he would impact nations. You would think that would be enough. God said it; He promised it. But it all came down to this question. “What do you see, Jeremiah?” He said, “God, I see the branch of an almond tree starting to bud. It’s coming out of late winter, blossoming into full bloom.” He was saying, “I see growth, I see new opportunities, I see me stepping into new levels.” Because his vision cleared, he went on to impact nations, to blossom and bloom just like God said.
