Joel Osteen Devotional 28th February 2025 (Friday)
Today’s Topic: Each Morning and Evening
Scripture: Each morning and evening they stood before the LORD to sing songs of thanks and praise to him. – 1 Chronicles 23:30, NLT
Today’s Word
Every morning and evening you have to shine where you are, to have a song of thanks and praise when you could be complaining, to keep a smile when you feel like being sour. It’s not easy, but you keep reminding yourself that the Creator of the universe, the Most High God, is right there with you in every situation. He sees what you’re up against. He knows what’s not fair, the hurts, the disappointments, the lonely nights.
Sometimes God is not bringing you out yet because He wants the odds to be against you in a bigger way so when He brings you out, it’s a greater miracle. The purpose is so He can show His glory through you, so other people can see His power and favor on your life. Without great tests, you won’t have a great testimony.
Without big battles, you won’t have big victories. When you dig down deep and do the right thing, taking your stand before the Lord, you’re going to feel a supernatural strength, a power that helps you do what you can’t do on your own.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You are worthy of my worship and songs of praise. Thank You that I can stand before You every morning and evening and sing songs of victory. I declare that You are right here with me and that You will show Your glory through me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: We spend a lot of time and energy taking care of our physical body. We try to eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, take vitamins. That’s all important. We want to feel good. But we don’t spend enough time taking care of our soul. We don’t realize how much our emotions, our attitudes, our thoughts are affecting us physically. The Scripture says, “I wish above all things that you succeed and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.” This links being healthy physically, having energy, vitality, to how healthy your soul is. If your soul is unhealthy, it’s going to spill over to the physical.
You can be a believer for fifty years, you’ve grown, you’ve matured, but you will still have to deal with the flesh. This is a battle that will never go away. You don’t overcome it one time and it’s defeated. It will come back again. This is something we have to get skilled at. “No, I’m not going to let my flesh say everything it wants. I’m not going to take the bait and get offended by that person that did me wrong. I’m not going to let my guard down and be dishonest in this business deal.” Are you winning the war within? Are you living by the Spirit, making decisions that honor God, or are you letting the flesh win, doing what you feel? You need to take the flesh off the throne. Quit letting it determine your decisions.
