JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 3 JULY 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 3 July 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Wednesday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Nobodies and Somebodies
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”? – 1 Corinthians 1:27, MSG
TODAY’S WORD
You may think you can never accomplish your dream because you feel limited by what you don’t have or by what you didn’t get. But God is not bound by natural laws, by company policies, by people’s prejudices. He controls the universe. The dream He put in your heart is not dependent on you having all the qualifications, the experience, the training, or people being for you. Sometimes God will let the odds be against you on purpose.
He’ll let you be over your head, at the back of the line, and the least likely. That’s a setup. That’s a sign that a reversal is coming. “God chooses the nobodies to confound the somebodies.” He loves to take the unqualified and cause them to excel. He loves to take disregarded people and cause them to shine.
He can change people’s minds. He can cause them to want to be good to you. They may not even know why. It’s God shining His favor on you, pushing you into your purpose. Get ready for some reversals. Things are about to shift in your favor.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
“Father, thank You that You’re a God who reverses the order, a God who can make the last the first. Thank You for doing what only You can do, for taking me where I can’t go on my own. If others discount me, I know You count me, and You are the only One who really matters. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
