Joel Osteen Saturday 5th December 2020 – Don’t Let the Odds Fool You
You are reading today’s Joel Osteen Daily Devotional for Saturday 5th December 2020 written by Joel Osteen to inspire you.
TODAY’S TOPIC: DON’T LET THE ODDS FOOL YOU
Today’s Scripture: Judges 7:2, NIV
The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me.'”
Today’s Word On Joel Osteen Saturday 5th December 2020
An enemy army of one hundred and thirty-five thousand men was about to attack Gideon’s army when God instructed Gideon to reduce his troops from thirty-two thousand men to ten thousand and then to only three hundred men. Gideon nearly passed out. These odds seemed impossible. But Gideon didn’t realize that God was setting him up to show out in his life with a great victory.
Don’t be surprised when you find yourself in situations where it feels as though the odds are against you. You don’t see a way out. God puts you there on purpose so that when He turns it around, everyone will know it is the hand of the Lord.
When your circumstances seem impossible, instead of being discouraged and thinking, God, why me? get ready. You’re in perfect position for God to show out in your life and take you to the next level. He is setting you up to show His favor in amazing ways.
Prayer for Today “Father, thank You that when the obstacles in my way look bigger, stronger, and more powerful than I can handle, You turn what look like setbacks into setups. I believe that You’re about to make things happen that I could never make happen and in amazing ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests bwere behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.
“There’s no greater feeling than being able to help people rise higher and overcome something and feel better about themselves. I think that we’re all made to help others, to lift people UP.” – JOEL OSTEEN
His father always encouraged him to preach, but Joel would politely decline time and time again until one day in October 1999 when his father was admitted to the hospital with kidney complications. Joel finally agreed to preach the next Sunday, and his father passed the following week. Joel’s first sermon was the last his father ever heard. Joel and his wife, Victoria, were suddenly thrust into full-time leadership of Lakewood Church.
