Today's Word with Joel & Victoria
Hello everyone! I receive this in an email from Joel Osteen's website. It was SO good that I absolutely HAD to share it. If you are interested in receiving Today's Word with Joel & Victoria visit their ministry's website at www.joelosteen.com.
Set Your Hope
Today's Scripture
“Set your hope wholly and unchangeablely on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed.” (I Peter 1:13)
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Is your hope set on God’s divine favor in your life today? One translation of this verse says, “Look forward to more and more of God’s favor.” That’s God’s dream — to pour out His goodness and grace upon you. He wants to help you get ahead in this life. He wants to lead you to the right job. He wants to lead you to the right relationship. But here’s the key: we have to be on the lookout for more of God’s favor. That tells me that we can’t get stagnant. Don’t ever think that you can’t rise any higher. God wants to do more than you can even ask or think. It says in Ephesians, He wants to show us the immeasurable, limitless, surpassing greatness of His free favor. In other words, God wants to go far and above what we’re used to! He wants to show you favor in unusual and extraordinary ways. Set your hopes higher today. Increase your expectations of what God will do in your life. As you open your heart and mind to His unlimited favor, you will experience the abundance He has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for your increase in every area of my life today. I choose to set my hope in You knowing that You want to do more in my life than I can ever imagine. Teach me to be a vessel used by You today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Believing that your faith will be increased through this message and that you will experience more and more of God's favor. When you see God's favor at work in your life, simply say out loud, "That is the favor of God." I think that I heard Jesse Duplantis talk about doing this because it made him aware of all that God was doing in his life. I have been doing this and it not only increases my faith in what God has done, but it also encourages me to stretch my faith to believe God's word and causes me to increase my expectations of what God will do in my life!
