Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 20 November 2025 (Thursday) Message. Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen.
TOPIC: Provision Through Humility
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
They brought the jars to the widow and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
2 Kings 4:5–6, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
In 2 Kings 4, a poor widow had no money to pay her creditors who were coming to take her two sons as slaves. The prophet Elisha told her to borrow as many jars as she could from her neighbors and pour the little bit of oil she had into the jars. How did that make sense? But she took that first step of obedience, humbling herself before her neighbors, and never questioned the prophet’s word. Had she not kept pouring and pouring, she would have missed her miracle and lost her sons and livelihood.
Always do what God is asking you to do. The first steps of obedience may not bring change, but that doesn’t mean something is wrong. The good news is, you’re about to start pouring out what you have and suddenly the healing comes, suddenly you’re promoted, suddenly you meet the right person, suddenly you see the breakthrough. Don’t get discouraged. Don’t let pride get in the way and stop you. Keep walking in humility. Keep doing the right thing. You are close to your miracle.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the gifts and talents and resources that You have already given me. Thank You that You can take what seems like it’s not enough and make it flow into abundance. I believe that You are going to multiply what I have and show out in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
