Joel Osteen (January-29-2023) Today's Word: Abundant Rain
Today’s Scripture - Psalm 68:9, NIV: You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance.
Today’s Word: It's easy to lose our passion for life. At one time we loved to laugh, looked forward to the day, were believing for our dreams, but when things didn't work out as we thought, we came into a dry place and life lost its flavor. You smile, but there's no joy behind it. Sometimes we're dry because we're tired, the challenges have taken longer than we thought, and it seems we'll never overcome them. We can be dry because somebody did us wrong, and instead of letting it go, we've become bitter.
You may feel the blahs, but this is when you have to take control of your thought life. That's where the battle is taking place. God sees what you're going through, and He's about to give you an abundance of strength, joy, health, and resources. You're coming out of that dry place into more than enough. Get your hopes up. Start expecting the abundant rain. That's the way our God is.
Prayer for Today: "Father, thank You that You are not limited by the dry places in which I sometimes find myself. Thank You that You see what I'm going through, and You're sending the rain with overflow and abundance. I believe the victories in my past are going to pale in comparison to the victories in my future. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
