Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 17 June 2019 – Created to Thrive
Topic: Created to Thrive
Scripture: ‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full’. – John 10:10, NIV
Today’s Word: So many people today are living with a survival mentality instead of a thriving mentality. They have mentality that says, “If I can just make it through…” or “If I can just get by….”
Of course, there are some seasons that are more difficult than others. Sometimes it’s challenging to get a vision for the future. But if you are constantly living with a survival mentality, you are missing out on God’s best.
Scripture doesn’t say, “Jesus came so you could survive.” No it says that He came to give you a full, abundant life!
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 17 June 2019 – Created to Thrive
If you are living in a survival mode right now, today can be your turning point. If you’ll take a step of faith and begin to declare, “my days of survival are over; my days of thriving have begun,” I believe God will meet your faith. I believe He will open an unexpected door. He’ll pour out His blessing and favor on you. He’ll make a way where there seems to be no way! Even if you’re in a tough time right now, remember that tough times don’t last, but the Word of the Lord stands forever.
Begin to declare what God says about your circumstances because you are created for more than get by-you are created to thrive!
A Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for giving me abundant life through Jesus Christ. I believe that You have a good plan for my future. I declare that my days of thriving have begun as I continue to put my faith and trust in You alone in Jesus’ name. Amen
