JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 19 JULY 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 19 July 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Friday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Don’t Ignore It
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Hebrews 3:15, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
Sometimes the still small voice of God speaks to us about very practical matters. “You’re not eating healthy. This is not good for you.” You keep hearing it again and again, pushing it down. Don’t ignore it. Or maybe you hear the whisper, “You need to get to work on time.” Or, “You need to treat your spouse better. You need to watch your words.”
These are gentle whispers, impressions in your spirit, not your mind. Your intellect may say it’s fine, but deep in your spirit you know you should do it. When we understand that the whispers are for our benefit, the whispers are God leading us down the best path, we won’t ignore them or push them down. We’ll be quick to obey.
When you don’t feel at peace about a purchase, you put it back. When you feel a prompting to spend time with your child, you turn the TV off and obey. At work, you feel uneasy about being with someone. The alarm is going off. You trust your sensor and make the change.
A PRAYER OF THE DAY
“Father, thank You that in the most practical ways You are speaking to me about everything that I am involved with. Thank You that You’re directing me for my benefit and leading me down the best path. I declare that I am committed to obeying Your still small voice today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
