Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 7 August 2026 TOPIC: Bigger and Better
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city. – Acts 8:7–8, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
It’s significant that Philip came into a season of great flourishing after he was driven by persecution out of Jerusalem to a city in Samaria. It looked as though nothing good was happening, as though he’d just have to endure the difficulties. But God was using that shaking season to get him in a position to flourish and see His favor and blessings in new ways. Philip saw all kinds of miracles in Samaria that he had never seen in Jerusalem. If he had stayed there, he would have missed the fullness of his destiny.
When you’re doing the right thing and a door closes, someone pushes you away, or the contract suddenly ends, stay in faith. God will open a bigger and better door. Samaria is waiting for you. There’s a place of victory, a place of abundance, a place of flourishing that God has already prepared for you. You’re going to do things you’ve never dreamed, discover gifts you didn’t know you had, and see favor, abundance, and breakthroughs. Just know that your best days are still ahead.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You know what’s best for me, and You’re pushing and stretching me out of my comfort zone and into my purpose. Thank You for closed doors as well as open doors. I believe that You have something bigger, something better, something more rewarding up in front of me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
