They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.
Today’s Word On Joel Osteen Today 19th December 2020 Devotional
In today’s Scripture, when a blind man was brought to Jesus, He led him outside the village and then healed him. Why did Jesus take him outside the village? He could have healed the man right there among the people. Perhaps, it was because this blind man was in a negative environment, surrounded by people who had accepted mediocrity and dysfunction. Perhaps, some of those who were there were saying, “You’ve been blind your whole life. Do you really think you’re going to get well because a few friends hope it’s true?” Maybe Jesus had to take him outside the village so he wouldn’t get talked out of his miracle.
Sometimes you have to get out of a negative environment to see God’s favor in a new way. Sometimes you have to break out of the box that people try to keep you in. Don’t let the limitations of those around you hold you down. Outside the box is your miracle and destiny.
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that I can break out of the box of limitations that other people try to keep me in or that I’ve accepted as the way it is. Thank You that I can follow You outside a negative environment that tries to talk me out of my miracle. I believe You can do it. 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 were 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.
