Joel Osteen Daily Devotional May 9 2022 – You Win

Micah 5:9, MSG

With your arms raised in triumph over your foes, your enemies will be no more!

In the Scripture, why did David’s father leave him out in the shepherds’ fields when Samuel came to anoint one of his sons to be the next king? Why did he look down on David as not good enough and disrespect him as unworthy? Why was David’s oldest brother jealous of him, and why did he belittle David and try to hold him back? David wasn’t intimidating or a threat to him. But the enemy can see things in you that you may not see. The enemy knew David had seeds of greatness in him. He knew David was a giant killer. That’s why he came against David so strongly to keep him from his destiny.

There may be obstacles trying to stop you now. You wonder why it’s happening. It’s because there’s greatness in you. The enemy wouldn’t come against you if you weren’t a threat. Now do your part and stay in faith. In this fight for your future, it’s not just up to you. God is fighting for you. You will triumph!

Father, thank You for every time You have helped me and refused to let the enemy triumph over me. Thank You that when the enemy comes against me, You are fighting for me. I believe that my future is safely in Your hands and that the difficulties are about to give way to breakthroughs. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
