Joel Osteen Daily Devotional April 23 2022 – The Battle Turns

Psalm 56:9, TLB

The very day I call for help, the tide of battle turns. My enemies flee! This one thing I know: God is for me!

We all go through times when we don’t think we’ll win our battles, seasons of darkness when nothing is changing. You may have been believing for a long time for things to change in your marriage, your finances, or with an addiction, but the obstacle seems permanent. You have to walk by faith and not by sight when there’s no evidence that it’s a new day and the battle has turned. Today’s Scripture says that the moment you prayed in the dark, the battle turned.

Now instead of complaining about the dark, have a new perspective. Who can stop the sun from rising each morning? All the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has promised you from coming to pass. You may not see anything improving, but my challenge is to trust Him in the dark. The sun is going to come up sooner than you think. The battle has already turned. Daybreak is about to happen. Get ready for favor, get ready for breakthroughs, get ready for freedom, get ready for promotion.

Father, thank You that You hear every prayer that I whisper in the dark, and You see me standing in faith. Thank You that in the unseen realm You turn the tide of the battle because You are for me. I believe and declare that nothing can stop what You have promised me from coming to pass. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
