JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 29 JUNE 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 29 June 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Saturday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: What Is Your Focus?
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?” – Mark 8:18, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
What you focus on in life is so important. What are you dwelling on right now? Is it the size of an obstacle or the size of your God? If you go around all day thinking about your problems, worried, anxious, and playing all the negatives in your mind, you will draw in the negative. Maybe you’ve considered the medical report or the bank statement, and the odds against them, over and over. Now it’s time to make a switch and start considering God.
Instead of overanalyzing a bad situation, start thanking God for the answers that are on the way. Spend your time meditating on the Scripture. Instead of reading the bad medical report for the twelve hundredth time, go walk in the park and with every step say, “Lord, thank You that You’re still on the throne.” Here’s the key: When you make God bigger, your problems become smaller. When you magnify God instead of magnifying your difficulties, faith rises in your heart. Pay attention to what you focus on, to what’s playing in your mind all day. Consider your God.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You didn’t create me to live weighed down by the worry, hurts, guilt, and frustrations. Thank You that I can lift my eyes to You and listen to Your Word. Help me to magnify You and to dwell on what You have to say about me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
