Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 15 August 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Thursday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Glad-Hearted
Today’s Scripture
Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always). – 1 Thessalonians 5:16, AMPC
Today’s Word
How long are we supposed to be glad-hearted, to be happy in our faith and rejoicing? As long as people treat us right? As long as the medical report is good? As long as the economy is strong? No, the apostle Paul says “always.” That means in the good times and in the tough times, when your life is going great and when life feels depressing and gloomy, when it’s sunny and when it’s raining.
Jesus says that “in this world you will have trouble.” We all face disappointments, unfair situations, tests, trials, and temptation. But know this: On the other side of every difficulty and adversity is promotion, opportunity, growth, and increase. Whether the sun is shining or dark clouds are overhead, your Heavenly Father is in control, and He has promised to take care of you, regardless of the circumstances.
Get up in the morning and have a song of praise in your heart. Keep your joy and be glad-hearted continually. God is about to show up and show out in unusual ways that will amaze you.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that I can be glad-hearted and rejoice in all circumstances today because You are always in control. Thank You that You are always doing exceedingly abundantly beyond all I could ever ask or imagine. I am going to keep a song of praise in my heart. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
