JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 5TH DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 5th December 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Thursday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Give What You Have
Today’s Scripture
Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. – Matthew 14:16–17, NIV
Today’s Word
Thousands of hungry people out in the middle of nowhere, and Jesus tells His disciples to give them something to eat. Impossible. But God will never ask you to do something and then not give you the ability to do it. When Jesus heard the disciples’ excuses, He said, in effect, “You’ve told me all about what you don’t have. All I want to know is what you do have.
Don’t sit on the sidelines of life intimidated, thinking you’re unqualified. Put your life, your dreams, your goals, and your talent into My hands and let Me multiply it.” Compared to what you’re facing now—the financial difficulty, the medical problem, or the size of your dreams—what you have may seem small. You could easily be intimidated. But God is saying, “Just give Me what you have.”
If you be the best you can be right where you are, living with confidence, believing that God is breathing in your direction, then God will do for you what He did for the hungry crowd. He will take the little and turn it into much.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that I can give You my dreams and goals, and You will do something great with them. Thank You that You take the loaves and the fishes in my life and multiply them into something extraordinary. I gladly put my gifts and resources in Your hands today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
