Run Your Own Race - Joel Osteen Today's Word (November-28-2023)

Joel Osteen (November-28-2023) Today's Word: Run Your Own Race

Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24, NIV - Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

Today’s Word: Too often when we see someone who's more talented and successful, there's a tendency to think, Why can't I do that? I want what they have. If we're not careful, before long we'll be trying to outperform them, outdress them, outdrive them, outwork them. The problem is that you're competing with someone who's not in your race. Your race is specifically for you. You're not in competition with anyone else. The only competition you have is with yourself to be the best that you can be. So quit comparing yourself to others and run your race.

Nobody can beat you at being you. You can be a better you than anybody in the world. When you're comfortable with who you are, you're not trying to be something that you're not, then your own uniqueness, creativeness, and talent will come out in greater ways. Why? Because you've stepped into the anointing on your life. Be you. You are powerful when you're you.

Prayer for Today: "Father, thank You that Your favor, Your blessing, and Your grace are unique to my life. Thank You that I am just right for the race You've called me to run, and I'm not in a competition with anyone else. Help me to be the best me that I can be. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

    I have been a constant listener of the podcasts by Joel and Victoria. From the time I've been listening I've encountered
    co-incidences in which the message I listen coincide with my circumstances and I've received insights which helped me to strengthen my faith in Our Lord. I wanted to testify that your messages have brought me closer to my Lord and to what he's destined for me. Continue praying for me and my family. Amen.

    T0 Victoria, and Joel Ölsteen this Message Protect Your PEACE is something I needed to read, and listen to at the right time, and I ask My Friend to do that every morning before He leaves out the door almost every morning. Sometimes He gets a little mad, but I just dust that off, and just Pray for Him, because on the other hand He has a good Heart, and He shows it almost every time He gets back, because some of the time He comes back like somebody stole His car, and to Me that shouldn't make Him mad, because that's what insurance is for, and I let Him just get it off, and when He finish He just sit on the couch, andd try to understand why He constantly let other People still the joy that God wakes Him up with everyday, and teach Him Dear Lord how to first apologize to Jesus, and You God, and then teach Him how to apologize to Me, because I'm not a door mat, and I'm not going to keep letting Him spit on Me with His words, and then can't be Man enough to apologize, and this is the end of 2020, and I'm going to Change a lot in 2021, and I would like for Him to be on board, but not with the same addiitude He had for the pass years. So Please Lord make Him Your Son Again. PEACE
