Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 18 May 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Saturday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Skillful Listening
Today’s Scripture
Today’s Word
As believers, the Holy Spirit lives inside each one of us. He’s called our helper, our counselor, our guide. The more sensitive we are to His whispers, what we’re feeling, the inner promptings, the nudging, the further we’re going to go. This is something we have to learn so strongly, to not go against what we’re feeling inside. We have to trust that the Holy Spirit is directing us. That’s where God speaks to you. No matter how good the opportunity looks, no matter how impressive the person seems, if you don’t have peace about situations that involve them, don’t move forward. Or just the opposite.
A situation may seem impossible, the odds are against you, and all the circumstances say it’s not going to happen, but if you have an inner peace, that sense of knowing that the Spirit gives, take that step of faith. When you develop this skill of listening to the whisper, following that still small voice, God will not only take you further, but He’ll protect you from things that would have caused you heartache and pain.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit to be my helper, my counselor, and my guide throughout my life. Thank You that You’ve promised to lead me on the right path, into the right places, and with the right people. Help me to be sensitive to hear how You are speaking to me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
