Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 13 November 2025 (Thursday) Message. Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen.
TOPIC: If You Believe
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
John 11:40, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
In John 11, Mary and Martha were hurting and disappointed that Jesus had not come quickly enough to heal their brother, Lazarus. Every thought was telling, “It’s not fair that he died. Jesus, why did You let this happen to him?” Jesus told them to trust Him when it didn’t seem good, when sorrow was overwhelming them. They had hoped for a healing, but Jesus had a resurrection in mind.
You may be dealing with an illness, or struggling in a relationship, or have people coming against you. It feels dark, lonely, discouraging. You don’t see how it could ever work out. Stay in faith. God wouldn’t have allowed it if it weren’t going to move you forward. You don’t know what God is doing behind the scenes. This is what faith is all about. The good news is that a resurrection is coming, so to speak, when God vindicates you, heals you, promotes you, restores you. Just believe that you will see the glory of God. When He brings it together, it’s going to work for you and not against you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that no matter what challenges and setbacks I face, You have the final word over all things. Thank You that any apparent delay in Your response is a sign of something big that’s coming. I believe that You are working behind the scenes and bringing resurrections. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
