Joel Osteen Devotional January 9 2021 – Stored-Up Blessings

Psalm 31:19, TLB

Oh, how great is your goodness to those who publicly declare that you will rescue them. For you have stored up great blessings for those who trust and reverence you.

Imagine that there’s a warehouse in heaven filled with boxes that have your name on them. The boxes contain promotions, houses, businesses, healings, and promises God has spoken to you. They’re on a shelf waiting to be delivered. But what if we get to heaven, go into the warehouse, and see all these boxes that were never delivered. “There’s the healing that He promised, but the doctor said I wouldn’t get well. There’s the house I dreamed about, but I couldn’t see how it could happen. The loan didn’t go through.” What held them back? We quit believing. We let circumstances talk us out of it.

The good news is that it’s not too late. Just because you gave up doesn’t mean God gave up. All those blessings are still on the shelf waiting for delivery. You just need to stir up your faith. If you get your passion back, God will still bring them to pass.

“Father, thank You for Your goodness and the many blessings You have stored up for me. Thank You that no matter what the circumstances say, I can still stir up my faith and receive all that You have for me. I believe that You have some surprises in my future. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
