Joel Osteen Devotional June 13 2021 – Blown by Winds

Acts 27:24, NIV

“Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar…”

The apostle Paul was on a boat headed toward Rome where he was going to stand trial before Caesar when a violent storm drove the ship aground, and all who were aboard the ship had to swim to a small island. It looked as though Paul’s plans hadn’t worked out, but that storm didn’t stop God’s plan; it was a part of God’s plan. It blew Paul into his purpose. He ended up sharing his faith with the people on that island, and many were healed and came to know the Lord.

God will use the winds of life that were meant to harm you to push you into your destiny. You may not understand, and it may be uncomfortable, but keep the right attitude. That storm is not going to defeat you; it’s going to promote you. You’re being pushed for a reason. There’s something bigger, something better, something more rewarding up in front of you.

Father, thank You that the winds and waves that I face today cannot stop Your plan for my life. Thank You that my purpose is firmly and securely anchored in You. I believe and declare that the winds cannot defeat me and are pushing me into my destiny. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
