JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 23RD DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 23rd December 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Monday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Who’s Power?
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.” – Luke 1:34–35, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
When God gave Mary the promise that she would give birth to the Messiah, it seemed impossible. To have a baby without a man defies the laws of nature and logic. But the angel didn’t get upset when she asked how it was possible. He simply helped her have a new perspective. He was saying, in effect, “Mary, you’re looking at it in the natural.
In your own ability, it won’t happen. But the Spirit of God will make it happen.” Mary was at a critical point and chose to look beyond the logical. She got in agreement with God and didn’t let her human reasoning talk her out of it. God is going to put promises in your heart that don’t make sense. Are you going to keep seeing them only from a human point of view?
It’s not going to happen by your own strength, intellect, or hard work. The Spirit of the living God will make it happen. It’s going to be supernatural, something you can’t explain or take credit for. Everyone will know that it’s the hand of God.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
“Father, thank You for Your promise to Mary that her giving birth to Your Son was possible because the Holy Spirit made it happen. Thank You that Your promises to me are equally as possible because Your Spirit is at work in me. I won’t talk myself out of it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
