JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 4TH DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 4th December 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Wednesday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Mind-Boggling
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to see your children too.” – Genesis 48:11, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
When Joseph was seventeen, his brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt, then convinced their father, Israel, that Joseph had been killed by a wild animal. Israel was so heartbroken that he could not be comforted and said he would “continue to mourn until I join my son in the grave.”
Shockingly, twenty-two years later, Israel was told that Joseph was not only alive but the prime minister of Egypt. It was beyond his imagining that he would ever see Joseph again, let alone be able to pronounce a blessing over Joseph’s sons. Do you see how awesome our God is? He’s working in ways that we could never fathom.
We may have given up on a goal, a dream, or a desire, feeling that the door is closed. But God is about to surprise you. He’s going to do something out of the ordinary, something that you don’t see coming, that will boggle your mind. As with Jacob, you’re going to stand in awe, not believing your eyes. That’s how amazing our God is. Stay in faith. It’s still going to happen.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
“Father, thank You that You have the awesome power to restore the things that seem dead in my life and bring dreams and desires to pass. Thank You that You are working in ways that I cannot fathom and that will boggle my mind. I believe that You are amazing. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
