Joel Osteen Devotional 26 September 2019 – He Has Mercy
TOPIC: He Has Mercy
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. – Galatians 6:7, NIV
TODAY’S WORD:
Have you ever looked at a large old tree and wondered how long it has been there? The thing to remember when you see a tree like this is that at one time, it was merely a little seed. Just like a mighty oak tree, if you want to grow tall and strong in your faith, you must plant the good seeds of faith so that you may reap a great harvest!
Joel Osteen Devotional 26 September 2019 – He Has Mercy
All through the Scripture, we find the principle of sowing and reaping. Farmers may get discouraged sometimes, but they know that if they want good results, they must keep planting and watering the good seeds. This is true of you as well. Notice, we reap what we sow. If you want to reap happiness, you have to sow some “happiness” seeds by making other people happy. If you want to reap financial blessings, you must sow financial seeds in the lives of others. If you want to reap friendships, you should sow a seed and be a friend. Keep planting the seeds of faith, and you’ll see growth and a good harvest.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father in heaven, thank You for the relationships in my life. Help me find creative ways to connect with the people I love. Help me to walk and live in a spirit of unity as You commanded in Jesus’ name. Amen. -Joel and Victoria Osteen
