Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 18th November 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Monday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Make Up Your Mind
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. – James 1:5–7, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
Today’s Scripture is talking about wisdom, but the principle is that when you ask God for something, be sure you really expect Him to answer. Sometimes we go to God hoping and wishing that something will happen. How about going to God with confidence, knowing that when you ask in faith, He will answer you?
It says God will gladly give you wisdom. He loves for you to come to Him. He’s longing to be good to you. But if you’re going to see good things happen, you have to come to Him expecting an answer. And when you ask, believe that you receive it. By faith, believe that it happened. You have to make up your mind.
Are you going to believe what God promised you, or are you going to let doubt, negative voices, or other opinions convince you it’s not going to happen? “You can’t get well. You’ll never break the addiction. You’ll never be successful.” Do yourself a favor and tune that out. Don’t let doubt keep you from your destiny. Have an unwavering mind.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the expectancy rising in my heart that You have good things in store for me. Thank You that my hopes and dreams can be in You alone. I believe and declare that doubt is not going to keep me from what You have in store. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
