JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 17TH DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 17th December 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Tuesday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Joy Is Coming
Today’s Scripture
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. – Psalm 30:5, NKJV
Today’s Word
You may go through seasons of weeping, of sorrow, of pain. But when you’re in the suffering and the struggle, you can’t see what God is about to do. All you can see is more of the same. It seems like there’s no way out. But notice that the psalmist says weeping “may” endure, which means it’s not certain, it’s questionable. Don’t let what you’ve been through convince you that the suffering is permanent. God’s promise is that joy is coming—not maybe, not hope so, not there’s a good chance.
The Most High God says that joy is on the way. That means no more heartache, no more mourning, no more loneliness. Those tears of sadness are coming to an end. God is about to do a new thing. You’re going to laugh again, you’re going to dream again, you’re going to love again. You’re going to see God’s blessing in such a way that you’ll have tears of joy, tears of gratitude, tears of thanksgiving. Get ready to laugh in amazement, laugh in gratefulness, laugh with songs of joy.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that in times of sadness, when I don’t see the way out of suffering or a loss seems too great, I can know that the morning is coming and the tears of sorrow will be turned to joy. I believe Your promise is on the way and I will laugh in amazement and gratefulness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
