Joel Osteen Devotional April 15 2021 – To the Next Level

Psalm 46:1, NKJV

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

When troubles come our way, it’s easy to get frustrated. But God wouldn’t allow it if it weren’t going to work to your advantage. That’s why you need to quit complaining and being discouraged because life dealt you a tough hand. The reason you have big challenges is that you have a big destiny. Average people have average problems; ordinary people have ordinary challenges. You’re not average. You’re a child of the Most High God. The Creator of the universe breathed His life into you. He crowned you with His favor. You’re not ordinary; you’re extraordinary. Don’t be surprised if you face extraordinary challenges. God knows what He’s doing. You may not like the trouble, it may not be fair, and you’re uncomfortable, but that trouble is transportation. Keep believing, keep praying, keep honoring God, and then trouble will take you to the next level of your destiny. It’s getting you prepared. You wouldn’t be who you are today without all the things you’ve been through.

Father, thank You that You are the Most High God who breathed life into me. Thank You that the trouble that comes my way is transporting me to the next level of my destiny. I believe that You are preparing me for a big destiny. In Jesus Name, Amen.
