Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 26 April 2026 (Sunday) Message. Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen.
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 26 April 2026 TOPIC: What Defines Your Life?
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:8, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
We can look back over our life and see things that don’t seem fair. We don’t understand. “Why did they betray me? Why was I born in dysfunction? Why did I lose my loved one?” I can’t tell you why, but I can tell you that God would not have allowed it if it was not going to deposit something in you to get you prepared and in position for what He has coming.
You have to remember that you are not defined by your past; you are prepared by your past. God wastes nothing. If He allowed it, there’s a purpose. He’s not going to waste your pain or scars, what wasn’t fair or what someone did to you. He’s not going to let your mistakes go to waste. There’s a lesson in it, an area in which you can grow to get positioned for something greater. God has not forgotten about you. Your time is coming. What He purposed for your life is still on schedule. There may have been some detours, some obstacles, but it was all part of His plan. It’s still going to happen.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are sovereign and worthy of my unconditional trust. There are things in my life that I don’t understand, situations I want to see changed, but I recognize that You are using these things to prepare me for my future. I believe You are in control. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
