JOEL OSTEEN DEVOTIONAL 26TH MARCH 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Devotional 26th March 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Tuesday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Joy in the Journey
Today’s Scripture
Psalm 4:7, ESV – You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.
Today’s Word
Too often we’re going to enjoy life when we accomplish a goal, when the kids are raised, when our spouse changes, when we get the promotion. Our joy is always in the future, when we cross another finish line, so we’re always rushing to the next thing. The problem is there’s always something that keeps us upset. The enemy would love to deceive us into enduring life but not enjoying life. Having children but not enjoying them. Being married but unhappy about our spouse’s flaws. Having a house, a job, and opportunities, but always having some reason we’re not happy.
The key is to find joy in the journey. You’re not there yet, you’re still waiting for things to improve, still believing for that promise, but in the meantime you’re enjoying where you are while you’re on the way to where you’re going. You can do that because the Scripture says that the joy of the Lord, the joy He puts in your heart, is your strength. Keep Him first place, and you’ll always have His joy.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You have a destination for my life as well as a journey to enjoy while I’m getting there. Thank You that You are my joy and that in Your presence is the fullness of joy. I declare that I will walk with You and enjoy the people and blessings You have given me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
