JOEL OSTEEN DEVOTIONAL 13 APRIL 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Devotional 13 April 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Saturday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: The Favor Factor
Today’s Scripture
Today’s Word
When God breathed His life into you, He put something in you to give you an advantage. There is something about you that makes you stand out, that draws opportunity, that causes you to overcome obstacles and accomplish dreams. The Scripture calls it “the gracious hand of God.” You can’t put your finger on it. But you know this is not just your talent, your education, or your hard work. It’s Almighty God breathing in your direction. You could call it “the favor factor.”
Psalm 44 says, “It was not their own strength that gave them the victory. It was because You favored them and smiled down on them.” The victories you’ve seen in the past weren’t just your own doing. God favored you. You wouldn’t be where you are if the gracious hand of God was not on your life. Every accomplishment, every good break, every obstacle you’ve overcome, was God opening the door, God bringing the right people, God turning it around. The Creator of the universe was smiling down on you. His gracious hand is at work in your life.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that Your hand has been upon my life in so many ways, holding me firmly lest I fall. Thank You that Your blessing has equipped me to overcome obstacles and accomplish dreams I could never accomplish on my own. I declare that Your favor factor is taking me to new levels. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
