Joel Osteen Devotional June 20 2021 – Light Will Break for You

Isaiah 58:7–8, NIV

Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter–when you see the naked, to clothe them…? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear.

Too often we’re waiting for the light to break forth–the promotion, the healing, the new level–but we’ve not served anyone. When you focus on not just accomplishing your dreams but on being a blessing and serving others, you’re going to have more joy and be more fulfilled. When you make it your business to serve, you’re going to see breakthroughs, promotion, and doors open that you couldn’t open.

Take a break from what’s bothering you. Take a break from what you want, from what you’re believing for, and go be good to somebody else. When you serve others, that’s a seed you’re sowing. God will make sure that you’re blessed. He’ll have people be good to you. If you’re not getting any good breaks, you need to ask yourself, “Am I giving any good breaks? Am I just doing what I’m required to do, or am I showing people favor, am I going the extra mile and serving?”

Father, thank You that You never leave me in darkness or trapped behind locked doors. Thank You that as I make it my daily business to serve others, You come bursting in with light and direction. I believe that You, the Creator of the universe, will make sure that I am blessed as I bless others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
