Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 8 March 2026 TOPIC: Called by Name
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.”
Isaiah 43:1, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
God calls us by name and tells us who we are. He called Gideon a mighty hero, David a giant killer, and Paul a chosen instrument. What does He call you? Do you know who you are. What could you become if you saw yourself the way God sees you? What dreams could you accomplish, what obstacles could you overcome, what influence could you have if you only knew who you are? Gideon didn’t feel like a mighty hero. Nothing about his circumstances looked like what God said. But God calls you what you are before you become it. Then it’s up to you. If you believe it, get it down in your spirit, it will become a reality. Gideon never dreamed that one day he would be in the Bible or that after thousands of years we’d be talking about him. You don’t know where God is taking you. You don’t know the doors He’s going to open, the giants you’re going to defeat, the influence you’re going to have. There’s an awesome future in front of you, but it’s dependent on how you see yourself.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You have called me by name and I am Yours. Thank You that You call me blessed, redeemed, forgiven, victorious, overcomer, and a masterpiece. I refuse to let life name me anything less than what You have named me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
