TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Psalm 118:24, NLT – This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
TODAY’S WORD
David had all kinds of opposition coming against him, people slandering him, family problems, but in the middle of it all he wrote today’s Scripture. If he was reporting on his circumstances, he would have said, “The Lord made this day, but I have so many problems.” Instead, David was making a declaration of faith: “Despite the opposition, people lying about me, or my family not believing in me, I’m going to live this day happy.”
If you’re going to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose, because there will be betrayals, delays, and all kinds of things that can cause you to live sour. You have to say, “I’m not letting what’s not working out or other people or problems to steal my joy. I will rejoice. I will be glad. I will live this day happy.” Know that your will is more powerful than how you feel. You have to decide first, then happiness will come. You control your happiness. It’s not up to anyone else. You’re as happy as you want to be.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You have given me this day as a gift to live for You. Thank You that my happiness today is not dependent upon anyone else or upon my circumstances. I will rejoice, I will be glad, and I will make the most of this day. 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.
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.
