Joel Osteen Daily Devotional June 8 2022 – A Triumph Story

2 Corinthians 2:14, NKJV

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

You may think you’re finished, you missed your destiny, you made too big of a mistake, but today’s Scripture makes it clear that God’s plan for you does not end in defeat, in mediocrity, in addictions, or in injustice. Your story ends in triumph. You’re not going to understand everything that happens, but you can be confident that God sees the end from the beginning. Sometimes He has to lead you backward in order to take you forward. He has to dig down deep, so He can get you prepared for how high He’s taking you. He has to prune you, so you can bloom. If you stay in faith, you’re going to see how it all works out for your good. If there are things that are holding you back, things that are out of place, things that are messy, don’t get discouraged. God is saying, “You’re right on schedule to triumph. Your story is not finished. I’m still working on you. What I started I’m going to bring to completion.”

Father, thank You for the promise that You always lead me to triumph through Jesus. Thank You that You are using all of the challenges to work for my good. I’m going to stay in peace, knowing that no obstacle that stands in my way can stop Your plan. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
