Joel Osteen Devotional 5 June 2025 Inspirational Message
Today’s Topic: Hardened to Difficulties
Scripture: I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you. Isaiah 41:10, AMPC
Today’s Word
If twenty years ago you faced some of the difficulties you face today, they would have defeated you. God knows what you can handle. As you keep passing these tests, He’s hardening you to difficulty. You’re getting stronger. Your faith is growing. Your endurance is increasing. Your spiritual muscles are being built up. The reason God is doing this is because there are awesome things in your future. God is taking you to a wide and spacious place.
He’s going to enlarge your territories. But with greater influence comes greater giants. With greater blessings comes greater opposition. With greater favor comes greater persecution. If He didn’t harden you to difficulty, you couldn’t withstand what comes against you. You may be going through some things today that aren’t fun. You may be uncomfortable, but you have to realize that God is not making you suffer. He’s working through the difficulty to deposit something inside you. He’s growing you up, getting you stronger, increasing your faith. Be encouraged that everything you are going through is necessary for where God is taking you.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that Your hand has been upon my life in so many ways, hardening me to difficulties, getting me stronger, growing me up. Thank You that You are making deposits in my life to help me withstand the enemy. I believe that You are preparing me for where You’re taking me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
None of us like closed doors. We prayed. We believed. We did our best, but it didn’t work out. But just as God opens doors, He closes doors. You have to go through some closed doors to get to your open doors. You’ll be tempted to get discouraged, “God, it’s not fair. Why didn’t I get that position? Why did that person leave? Why didn’t the contract go through?”
We’re not going to understand it at the time. It’s not going to make sense, but God knows things we don’t know. He can see the detours, the delays, the dead ends. You have to trust Him when the door closes, when you didn’t get what you wanted. If you hold on so tightly, you’ll become bitter. It will keep you from the new doors God wants to open. You have to let it go. Release it. It’s fine to be honest. “God, I wanted this. I don’t understand. It looks right to me, but God, I trust You. You know what’s best for my life.”
