Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 12 June 2025 TOPIC: Do It Afraid
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Then the LORD became angry with Moses.
Exodus 4:14, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
When the Israelites were in slavery in Egypt, God said to Moses, “Go and tell Pharaoh to let My people go.” Moses responded, “God, I can’t do that. I don’t speak well. I stutter.” Moses was saying, “God, You didn’t give me that gift. I’m afraid. Send someone with that skill.” He kept making excuse after excuse, and finally God became angry with him. He was not angry because Moses had flaws. He wasn’t angry because Moses stuttered. He was angry because Moses saw his gift as not enough. Moses was afraid, hiding it, thinking that he didn’t have what it takes when God said he did.
God is not displeased with us because we have weaknesses or shortcomings. He’s displeased when we’re not using the talents He’s given us, when we’re making excuses and discounting our gifts. God wouldn’t ask you to do something if He hadn’t already given you what you need. Quit discounting yourself. You have to get out of your comfort zone and do it afraid. If you play it safe all your life, you’ll never reach your full potential.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the gifts and the talents You put in me. Thank You that You made me and whatever You ask me to do You will make sure I have the ability to do it. I will be faithful to develop what You’ve given me and be bold to step out of my comfort zone and use it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
