Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 16th January 2026 TOPIC: Angels Came
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.
Matthew 4:11, ESV
TODAY’S WORD
After Jesus had endured forty days of fasting in the desert and was exhausted and at His weakest, the enemy came to tempt Him. Jesus resisted three temptations that must have brought Him close to a breaking point in His human limitations. Notice that after He passed these tests, God the Father sent angels to strengthen Him, to refresh Him, to give Him what He needed for His destiny. The Scripture says that “Jesus came out of the desert in the power of the Spirit.” How could He come out more powerful after He faced so much opposition? Angels showed up, bringing supernatural strength, energy, favor, and courage.
You may be in a season when you’re fighting the good fight but suffering from battle fatigue. You don’t see how you can keep going. God is about to send angels to strengthen you, to bring new life, fresh vision, and encouragement. You’re not just going to make it through it. You’re going to come out in the power of the Spirit, with fresh vision, fresh favor, and ready for the new levels that God has in store.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that my life is in Your hands, and You send Your angels to minister to me in the midst of my battles. Thank You for the silent seasons, for the times of testing when I don’t always understand where You’re taking me. I trust You to take me through the desert into something bigger for my future. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
