Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 16th October 2025 (Thursday) Message. Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen.
TOPIC: It’s What’s Happening Inside
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
Acts 16:25, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
In Acts 16, Paul and Silas had been beaten with rods and thrown in prison for preaching in the city of Philippi. Rather than complaining or being worried about whether they might receive justice, they were at peace and worshipping God with their feet fastened to stocks. Our outside circumstances don’t determine our peace; it’s what’s happening inside.
When you face difficulties and you’re connected to your Creator, when you’ve learned to pray with humility and thanksgiving, you can say with Paul, “I have some troubles, but I’m in peace. I’m in the hospital, but I’m in peace. I’m in debt, and my business is struggling, but I’m in peace. I know God is fighting this battle. I know He has the final say.” That’s when you’ll experience peace that passes understanding. Peace where you can sleep in the storm and through the battles.
When you’re in peace, you’re showing God that you trust Him. That’s your faith at work. That’s what activates His power. You’ll see Him show out in your life—supernatural healing, supernatural provision, supernatural breakthroughs.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You, the all-powerful Creator of the universe, are with me, just as You were with Paul and Silas. In the difficult times, when I don’t know how a situation is going to turn out, help me to offer You a sacrifice of praise. I believe You will work out Your plan for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
