Joel Osteen Devotional 2nd August 2025 New Month Inspirational Message
Today’s Topic: Jehovah Jireh
Scripture: So Abraham called the place The LORD Will Provide [Jehovah Jireh]. And to this day, it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.” – Genesis 22:14, NIV
Today’s Word
Obeying God’s instruction, Abraham was on top of Mount Moriah about to sacrifice his son Isaac when an angel told him to stop. It had been a test of Abraham’s obedience. He looked over and saw a ram caught in the thicket, which became the sacrifice. What’s interesting is that rams aren’t normally found that high up on the mountains, but God knows how to get the provision to you. The ram was waiting for Abraham. It was going up the mountain before Abraham even knew he needed it. The Lord will provide.
God has some rams waiting for you. He’s already lined up your provision, your abundance. Before you had the setback, He put the ram in place. Maybe you grew up in a family of lack and struggle. Don’t worry. Rams are in your future. It may look as though you’re stuck and can’t get the funding to expand your business. Stay encouraged. A ram will be waiting for you. Jehovah Jireh, the Lord your provider, has already positioned exactly what you need in your path.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord my provider. Thank You that I can set my trust in You completely to line up the provision I need. I believe and declare that all I need will be found in my path, and I will be amazed by Your goodness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: Go to God and not to people. Get your value, your worth, your approval from your Heavenly Father. If you’re trying to get this from people, you’ll be disappointed. People can let you down, people have issues, things they didn’t get. It’s easy to find fault, “Why wasn’t I raised better? Why won’t my spouse encourage me more? Why won’t my friend acknowledge my accomplishments? Why won’t they give me credit?” It’s almost like, “They owe me something. I’m expecting you to give me this.” A better way to live is, “Nobody owes me anything. My Heavenly Father takes care of me.” If not, we’re dependent on people to keep us happy, our spouse to cheer us up, our friend to make us feel valued. “This coworker needs to show me respect, so I’ll feel good about myself.” Let them off the hook. Quit going to people and start going to God.
