Joel Osteen Today Devotional 8th May 2024: Before You Were Born

You didn’t show up because your mother and father decided to have a baby. It wasn’t a random coincidence that they got together. Sometimes when a pregnancy is not planned, we say this baby was a surprise. You may have been a surprise to your parents, but you are not a surprise to our God. As was true for Jeremiah, He’s been thinking about you from eternity, and He has an appointed purpose for which He has set you apart. He has written the script, and there will be moments of favor and blessing that will come to you. Your purpose will come tracking you down.

In Jeremiah’s life, he couldn’t possibly become a prophet to the nations on his own. He couldn’t earn it, work for it, or put out flyers that said, “Hey, vote for me to be a prophet.” Who he became was a reflection of the sovereignty of God. In your life, He will override every force, every limitation, every disadvantage, and every bad decision that tries to stop you, and He will thrust you into your destiny.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are the Most High God and You handpicked me and set me apart for Your own purpose before my birth. Thank You for calling me to live by a higher standard and be set apart for Your purpose. I want to live up to my calling and bring You praise. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
