Joel Osteen Devotional February 5 2021 – It’s All in the Plan

Ephesians 1:11, NIV

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.

It’s easy to go through life wondering how things are going to work out, hoping we make the right decisions, and being stressed over our finances. You don’t have to worry about your future. Your life is divinely orchestrated. God has already laid out the plan. The apostle Paul says God is working all things according to His will. It’s not according to who likes you, how much talent you have, what family you come from, or even how many mistakes you make. It’s according to His will. He is behind the scenes not only directing your steps, but directing the steps of the people you need. He’s not just in control of your life, He’s in control of your circumstances. Nothing happens randomly. You are not at the mercy of setbacks. You don’t have to get upset because a door closed. God wouldn’t allow it if it wasn’t on your blueprint. It’s not going to keep you from your purpose; it’s leading you to your purpose.

Father, thank You for Your promise that You will work out Your plans for my life. Thank You that I can stay in peace knowing that You are working behind the scenes and directing the outcomes. Help me to be patient and know that You are bringing me into my purpose. In Jesus Name, Amen.
