Today Joel Osteen 25th October 2020 Daily Devotional Message & Sermon
Today’s Topic: Live Beneath the Surface
Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 32:18, NIV
My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.
Today’s Word
When you throw a rock out into a lake that is calm as glass on the surface, it sends ripples across the whole lake. It looks like it causes a big disturbance. But the truth is, one foot beneath the surface was calm and peaceful. No fish exclaimed, “Call 911! Something’s wrong!” Nothing on the surface affects the water down deep. It stays calm.
How easily do you get upset? If the pebbles that get thrown into your life are getting you frustrated and stealing your joy, you need to go down deeper in faith. “But the promotion at work fell through!” That’s a pebble. “She offended me!” Another pebble. “The loan was denied!” Just a pebble disturbing the surface. That’s not making light of those things, but when you get beneath the surface, you know God is still on the throne. Down deep where you choose to live, you’ll feel a peace, you’ll be at rest.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for being the God of all peace. I want to draw closer to You and live deeper in You. I refuse to allow circumstances in my life or what others say and do to steal my joy. I declare that I will walk in peace and be at rest. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Energize Your Life!
God has created you to be a victor, not a victim. Jump-start your day by celebrating the very best that God has for you! These daily inspirations will help you grow in your relationship with the Lord and equip you to be everything God intends you to be.
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.
