Joel Osteen Devotional Thursday 6 March 2025 TOPIC: Don’t Stay Where God Was
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.
Joshua 5:12, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
When God brought two million Israelites out of slavery, they were in the desert headed toward the Promised Land with nothing to eat. So every morning for forty years, God gave them manna, something like bread that formed on the ground.
They counted on this supernatural provision. But after the first time they ate food from the Promised Land, the manna ceased. Imagine their concern the next morning when there’s no manna. But the manna ceasing was a necessary ending to push them into the land of abundance He had for them.
They were satisfied to live off the manna for the rest of their lives, but God was not satisfied. When something comes to an end, when what’s worked in the past doesn’t work anymore, don’t stay where God was. Go to where God is; go into the new thing.
Be grateful for the good season you had with a friend, for the opportunity, for the provision, but don’t get stuck in the old. God changes seasons to push us into supernatural provision, new opportunities, new growth, and new relationships.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for all the ways You provide for me every day. Thank You that when one of those provisions ceases, You are already doing a new thing and lining up the next level. I believe that You change seasons, that You’re never in the past, and that You are leading me to where You are. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
