Joel Osteen Devotional Monday 10 March 2025 TOPIC: Desert Bloom
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
…for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Corinthians 16:9, ESV
TODAY’S WORD
If you’ve ever seen a desert bloom with a wide variety of wildflowers, it can be an awesome sight. The blossoming occurs when high levels of rainfall reach and germinate seeds and bulbs that have been in a dormant state. While excessive spring rainfalls often cause flooding and damage, the resulting flowering desert can be phenomenal.
The apostle Paul says we should never let the rains of adversity to fool us. There may be flooding now—someone walked away, disappointment, a contract fell through, sickness—but the rain is necessary. There are seeds in you that will only open up by going through excessive rain. The rain seems like a setback, but it’s setting you up for greater levels.
You’re tempted to get discouraged and give up, but on the other side of that difficulty is favor that you’ve never seen. Get ready. God is setting you up to blossom, to flourish, to see new growth and greater favor. You’re going to see God do what only He can do. Your best days are still in front of you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the gifts and talents and seeds of greatness You have given me. Thank You for every door of opportunity You open for me, and that adversity is only a sign that You are about to do something amazing. I believe that You have the final say. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
