Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 17 April 2026 TOPIC: Discover Your Greatness
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”
Galatians 4:6, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
It is so easy to forget who our heavenly Father is, to forget what He has done for us, and to limit what He wants to do in us. Too many of us think of Him like we think of our human parents who may not have been there for us, who made mistakes and may not have believed in us. That is not your heavenly Father. Your gifts, your talents, your greatness don’t come from your family; they come from Him. When He breathed life into you, He put His spiritual DNA inside. That’s how you can do something no one in your family has done. That’s how you break out of a limited mindset and make a difference with your life. Because of who your heavenly Father is, you can defeat giants, accomplish great dreams, break addictions, and set new standards. There’s no limit to what you can achieve. There’s no obstacle you can’t overcome. There’s no financial struggle that can hold you back. Keep believing, keep dreaming, keep being your best. The greatness He put in you is about to come out.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are not just good, but You are my great Father. Thank You for every good gift that You put in me and for how You are going to cause my greatness to come out. I believe that You are going to accomplish more through my life than I can imagine. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry. (Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 17 April 2026)
