Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 4 November 2025 (Tuesday) Message. Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen.
TOPIC: The Mighty God
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Then he built an altar there and named it El-Elohe-Israel (Mighty Is the God of Israel).
Genesis 33:20, MSG
TODAY’S WORD
After Jacob spent twenty years estranged from his brother, Esau, he decided to return home with his family. Jacob had deceived his father into giving him the family blessing that belonged to Esau, and Esau had threatened to kill him. Jacob didn’t know how Esau would react to his return, but when he saw Esau coming with four hundred men, I’m sure Jacob thought he was a dead man. But Esau hugged and kissed him. Both men had tears running down their cheeks, and Esau welcomed Jacob’s wives and children.
This was something greater than Jacob ever imagined, and his response was to build an altar and name it El-Elohe-Israel, “the mighty God of Israel.” You have had times when you knew that what happened was the mighty God at work. It might have been freeing you from an addiction or a broken relationship. Build your altars of thankfulness for what He’s done, and be encouraged that the mighty God is still at work. He is still parting Red Seas, still defeating giants, still opening doors supernaturally.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are the mighty God who goes before me and fights for me. Thank You for all the great things You have done for me and for all the victories that You are about to bring me through. I believe that You are still at work opening doors. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
