Joel Osteen Devotional 22 December 2019 – Your Source of Wisdom
Topic: Your Source of Wisdom
Today’s Scripture
I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. – Psalm 119:99, NIV
Today’s Word
The Scripture tells us to meditate on God’s promises. The word “meditate” means “to think about over and over.” Meditating on God’s Word will give you insights and wisdom to guide you at every turn in life.
There is supernatural wisdom that comes from meditating on Scripture—allowing it to sink down deep into your mind and heart. It will strengthen you, guide you and give you hope and victory in every situation.
Meditating on Scripture will also help you fill your mind with the things of God. Philippians 4:8 urges God’s people to fix their thoughts on what is true and good and right, to think about those things that are lovely and uplifting.
And most of all, God wants you to think about all the reasons you have to praise and thank Him. Since a person can only think about one thing at a time, meditating on God’s love and goodness leaves no room for wrong thinking.
A Prayer for Today
God, help me today to begin developing the good habit of meditating on Your Word each day. Please help me block out those things that would keep me from thinking about and praising You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
