TODAY’S WORD
We all love when a blessing comes—we get the promotion, we move into the new house, we meet the right person. But with every blessing comes a burden. It’s a blessing to get the promotion; it’s a burden to have more responsibility and accountability.
It’s a blessing to have a baby; it’s a burden to get up in the middle of the night. It’s a blessing to be healed; it’s a burden to change your lifestyle to stay healthy. The mistake we make is that we want the blessing without the burden. That’s not reality. They come as a package. The key is to learn to enjoy the blessing while the burden is still there.
Some burdens are not going to go away. You’re never going to get to the place where you’re problem free, and if you focus on them, you’ll lose your joy. When you change your perspective and focus on the blessing, you’ll enjoy your life and not just endure it. Don’t miss the joy of the blessings God has given you now because of the burdens that come with them.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for every blessing You have put on my life. Thank You that You are taking me on a journey of faith and obedience that is beyond my dreams. Help me to focus on the blessings and not allow the burdens to distract me from the great things You are doing. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen

As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry. (Joel Osteen Daily Devotional April 13th, 2025)
