Today’s Word with Joel Osteen 3rd February 2025, Monday Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
Joel Osteen Devotional 3rd February 2025 TOPIC: Don’t Get Stuck
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. – 2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
It’s so encouraging to know that God is transforming us from glory to glory. But we have to realize that one level of glory may come to an end in a way we don’t expect, so we will take the next step into the greater glory. When God is positioning you for the new things He’s about to do, it might require a door to shut, a loss that feels painful, a boss to keep passing over you for a promotion.
Don’t get stuck looking back, trying to figure it out. “Why didn’t it work out? Why did they treat me this way? Why did my business slow down?” Just keep moving forward, honoring God, knowing that it was a necessary ending, that God wouldn’t have stopped it if He didn’t have something better coming.
Are you fighting endings, bitter over what God stopped, discouraged over what didn’t last? What if you knew that it had to happen to get you to step into your next level of glory? What if what looks like a bad break is God leading you into the fullness of your destiny?
PRAYER OF THE DAY
“Father, thank You for the promise that You are transforming me from glory to glory. Thank You that the steps by which You take me from one level to another are for You alone to decide. I will keep moving forward and honoring You no matter what comes my way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
