Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 13th November 2023
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 13th November 2023 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Monday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Valiant Warrior
Today’s Scripture
The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, valiant warrior.” – Judges 6:12, NASB
A man named Gideon was hiding in the winepress, afraid of his enemies, when the angel called him the valiant warrior who was to deliver the people of Israel from the Midianites. Although Gideon felt overwhelmed, weak, and intimidated, the angel was saying, in effect, “Gideon, you are stronger than you think. You’re letting this situation convince you that it’s too much to handle, but you have what it takes. You’re courageous, you’re talented, you’re favored, and you’re well able.” Gideon was only seeing the opposition that looked insurmountable. The angel showed up to remind him of what was in him, and that is what he became.
God won’t let you get in a situation that feels overwhelming if He hasn’t already equipped you for it. The fact that you’re in it means you can handle it. You are stronger than you think. You are more powerful than you think. The Most High God is breathing on your life. He’s saying to you today, “Valiant warrior, rise up. Valiant warrior, stand strong. Valiant warrior, you are well able.”
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You know me and what I am capable of becoming. Thank You that You have equipped and empowered me to be strong where I feel weak and less-than. I believe that You are transforming me into a mighty warrior. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.
“There’s no greater feeling than being able to help people rise higher and overcome something and feel better about themselves. I think that we’re all made to help others, to lift people UP.”- JOEL OSTEEN
His father always encouraged him to preach, but Joel would politely decline time and time again until one day in October 1999 when his father was admitted to the hospital with kidney complications. Joel finally agreed to preach the next Sunday, and his father passed the following week. Joel’s first sermon was the last his father ever heard. Joel and his wife, Victoria, were suddenly thrust into full-time leadership of Lakewood Church.
