Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 5th December 2023
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 5th December 2023 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Tuesday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Keep the Negative Out
Today’s Scripture
The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.
Exodus 14:14, AMPC
You may be in a situation that’s unfair, somebody did you wrong, you’re dealing with an illness, or you’ve gone through a loss. You couldn’t control what happened, and you can’t make that go away. You can’t stop the negatives and offenses from coming. You can’t stop people from doing you wrong, and you can’t stop the bad breaks. You could be worried, bitter, and upset. This is when you have to dig down deep and determine to not be controlled by what you don’t have control over.
You must realize you control how you respond to it. Don’t give away your power by letting the negative in. You have to say, “I’m keeping my walls up. I’m not letting that negativity into my spirit. I’m going to keep singing praises and thanking God. I will remain at rest, and I know God will fight my battles.” He’ll pay you back for the unfair things. He’ll bring beauty out of those ashes. He will take care of what is trying to stop you.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You have power over what I cannot control. When I face problems that seem overwhelming, help me learn to hold my peace and remain at rest. I am believing that You will fight my battles and get me to where I’m supposed to be. 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.
