Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 19 May 2026 TOPIC: Marvelous Grace
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
Galatians 1:15–16, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
In Acts 9, Jesus appeared to Saul of Tarsus, who was the biggest enemy of the early church, having instigated a wave of persecution that scattered the believers. On Saul’s way to Damascus with the authority to put believers in prison, Jesus appeared and spoke to him. That day was his turning point. He became a follower of Christ, and his name was changed to the apostle Paul. He went from being the biggest threat to the biggest asset of the church, writing nearly half the books in the New Testament. He told the Galatians that God in His marvelous grace had chosen him before he was born to proclaim the good news to the Gentiles, which he never dreamed of doing. Paul was saying, “I thought I was doing the right thing, but God stepped in and showed me what He preplanned for me.”
God is not going to let you miss what He has preplanned for you. Like Paul, you are chosen for a purpose. His marvelous grace is for you today. Keep being faithful, and you will see it come to pass.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You saw a chosen vessel in Saul when he was persecuting the church, and You’re going to use me as Your instrument as well. Thank You for Your marvelous grace that will bring me into what You have planned for me. I will be faithful to Your purpose. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
