Topic: Don’t Chase the Blessing
Today’s Scripture
Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward.
(1 Samuel 16:13, NKJV)
Joel Osteen 8th July 2021 Daily Devotional Message
David’s life was set on a new course by just one person. When Samuel came to his house and anointed him to be king, his whole world changed. What’s interesting is that David didn’t go after Samuel. Samuel came after David. You don’t have to go after the blessing. Keep honoring God, and the blessing will come to you. The right person, the healing, the promotion will find you. We spend too much time trying to make things happen. Then we get frustrated because it’s taking so long. But you can’t make things happen that are out of God’s timing. You can’t make people like you who are not supposed to like you. You can’t open a door that God has closed.
Quit focusing on who’s not for you, and start focusing on who is for you. The Most High God is breathing in your direction. He has you in the palms of His hands. His plans for you are for good. His being for you is more than the world being against you.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that just one person, just one promotion, just one touch of Your favor can set my life on a brand-new course. Thank You that You open and close doors and make the right things happen for me on Your timetable. I believe that You are working out Your plan for my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
