Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 27th November 2023
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 27th November 2023 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Monday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Show Up for Life
TODAY’S WORD
Make the most of every living and breathing moment because these are evil times.
Ephesians 5:16, VOICE
MESSAGE: If you’re going to be fulfilled, you have to show up for life, meaning you have to be there when you get there. Don’t show up focused on the future or on the past, living in regrets. Come into today. Yes, it’s good to have goals and vision, but you can’t be so focused on what’s next that you miss what you have right now. I know people who lost what they had by being so intent on going after what they wanted. They missed their child growing up and the joy of their relationship with their spouse. They came home, but they weren’t there. They were distracted, always planning for the future, and never came into the present.
Today’s Scripture says to make the most of this very moment. What are you doing with today? Are you embracing where you are, present and connected, or are you present and disengaged? Make up your mind that you’re going to enjoy each moment, enjoy your family, enjoy the people with whom you work, and enjoy the beauty of creation.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are calling me to make the most of every moment of every day. Thank You for the people You have brought into my life. Help me to give them my full focus and love. I declare that I have made up my mind to enjoy them and not miss out. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.
“There’s no greater feeling than being able to help people rise higher and overcome something and feel better about themselves. I think that we’re all made to help others, to lift people UP.”- JOEL OSTEEN
His father always encouraged him to preach, but Joel would politely decline time and time again until one day in October 1999 when his father was admitted to the hospital with kidney complications. Joel finally agreed to preach the next Sunday, and his father passed the following week. Joel’s first sermon was the last his father ever heard. Joel and his wife, Victoria, were suddenly thrust into full-time leadership of Lakewood Church.
