Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 26th June 2025 TOPIC: You’re Not Limited by Your Background
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”
Esther 4:14, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
Most of the greatest leaders in the Bible didn’t come from prominence. Esther was a Jewish orphan girl who had been taken into exile and was living in Persia. All the odds were against her ever doing anything significant, but God caused things to fall into place and she became the queen of King Xerxes. It was not just for her sake, though. She was strategically put there to help save the Israelites from a plot to destroy them. God is raising up a new generation of Esthers. It’s not going to happen just because of your talent, your ability, or your background. It’s the favor of God. It’s His divine purpose.
Your part is to honor Him, to keep Him first place. When you’re being your best where you are, you’re proving to God that He can trust you. When you’re being faithful, determined, developing your skills, and helping others, God will take you higher than you’ve imagined. Stir your faith up, believe big, pray bold prayers, and dream God-sized dreams. He’s going to put you in strategic positions to affect the culture.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are Almighty God and the power of Your favor is working in my life. Thank You for the opportunities You will bring my way to step into ‘such a time as this’ moments and fulfill my purpose. I declare that I will use Your favor to advance Your kingdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
