Joel Osteen Daily Devotional (August 14, 2025) The Same Power.
“Remember the miraculous signs and wonders, and the strong hand and powerful arm with which he brought you out of Egypt. The LORD your God will use this same power against all the people you fear.” Deuteronomy 7:19, NLT
Today's Word: The nation of Israel had wandered around in the desert for forty years, and God was about to take them into the Promised Land. But there were seven nations in their path that were much bigger and stronger. Moses didn’t know what they were going to do. In the natural, they could never defeat them. But God told them that He was going to go before them and clear out these nations. They were to remember how He miraculously delivered them from Pharaoh and to know that He would defeat the enemies before them. You will face times when the odds are against you. It’s easy to think, “This sickness is much bigger than me. This addiction is much stronger than me. These people coming against me are much more powerful.” Don’t worry. God will go before you and clear the path. On your own you may be outnumbered. What you’re up against may be bigger, stronger, more talented, and have more resources, but you’re not on your own. The God who controls the universe says He will take care of your enemies.
Prayer For Today: “Father, thank You for the strength that rises within me whenever I remember what You have done in my life and in others’ lives. Thank You for the times You opened doors that seemed closed and defeated problems that were far too big for me. I will not be afraid. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
