Joel Osteen Daily Devotional April 8, 2025 Tuesday TOPIC: Patience
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Don’t be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep traveling steadily along his pathway and in due season he will honor you with every blessing.
TODAY’S WORD
When you’re waiting for a promise from God to come to pass, it’s easy to get frustrated and think, “God, if You’re going to bring this to pass in six months or in two years, why wait? Why don’t You bring the right person, or the healing, or the promotion now?” God knows what He’s doing. If He promoted you before you were ready, you wouldn’t be able to handle it.
It would be a burden rather than a blessing. He has to get you prepared for what He has in store. He loves you too much to let it happen too soon. You may have a promise from God in your heart, but you don’t see anything happening. God is using the waiting period to do a work in you.
If you pass the test, if you have faith and patience, then you’re growing, your character is developing, your spiritual muscles are getting stronger. To take you to a higher level is going to require more integrity, more discipline, more commitment. Keep doing the right thing. Your season is coming.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that there is a purpose for times of waiting, whether I understand it or not. Help me to be patient, to keep traveling steadily along Your pathway, to be consistent, knowing that it’s all part of Your process. I believe that what You promised is still en route. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
