Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 13 May 2026 TOPIC: Your Author and Finisher
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
…looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
Hebrews 12:2, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
God is the author of your life. He breathed life into you. He chose you to be here. He gave you a purpose, an assignment, something to accomplish. He’s not just the author, He’s the finisher. He’s going to keep making you, molding you, giving you grace to come up higher until He finishes. Now, the key is don’t give up in the middle. Don’t get discouraged while you’re being changed. He’s in control. As long as you’re being your best, you don’t have to perform perfectly. You have a heart to do what’s right. Then you can be assured when it’s time to change, all the forces of darkness cannot stop you. But notice that there’s a requirement for this to happen. You have to look away from all that will distract and look to Jesus. Focusing on your flaws will distract you from your purpose. Magnifying your weakness, what you don’t like about yourself, will keep you from your potential. Look away from all that and look to your author. Do your best and trust God to take care of the rest.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith, and He will finish what He started in my life. Thank You that I can look away from my weaknesses and flaws that distract me from my purpose. I declare that I will be my best and trust You to work out Your plan. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
