Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 10 April 2026 TOPIC: Miracles Along the Way
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Paul went in and prayed for him, and laying his hands on him, he healed him. Then all the other sick people on the island came and were healed.
Acts 28:8–9, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
The apostle Paul had God’s promise that he would stand before Caesar in Rome, but on the journey there he had to survive a huge storm, being shipwrecked, and being bitten by a venomous snake. The islanders witnessed Paul miraculously not being harmed by the poison. Then Paul prayed for the healing of the father of the leading official of the island as well as anyone else on the island who was sick. Not surprisingly, many of the islanders came to faith. Sometimes God will take you on what feels like a detour on your way to your destiny. He said you’re going to Rome, but you find yourself on an island with a snake bite, thinking, “This doesn’t make sense.” But it’s not just about you; it’s about the people whom God wants you to impact. There are people who need your love and healing touch. There’s healing in your words. Sometimes we can get so caught up in our plans that we miss the miracles along the way. It’s a divine detour. As you help others, that’s a seed God will use to help you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that the storms and shipwrecks I face today cannot stop Your plan for my life. Thank You that my purpose is firmly and securely in Your hands. I believe and declare that what seem like detours cannot defeat me and are pushing me into my destiny. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
