Joel Osteen Devotional March 10 2021 – Take the Limits Off

Exodus 3:8, NKJV

So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

When God gave the Israelites the promise of a land flowing with milk and honey, they had been in slavery for so many years that they became conditioned to not having enough, to barely getting by. When Pharaoh told his foremen to have the Israelites make the same amount of bricks without the hay and straw being provided for them, I’m sure they prayed, God, please help us to find the supplies that we need. They prayed from a slave mentality, from a limited mind-set. Instead of asking to be freed from their oppressors, they were asking to become better slaves. Instead of praying for what God promised them, they prayed that God would help them function better in their dysfunction. Are you asking today to become a better slave, or are you asking for the more-than-enough life that God has for you? Take the limits off God and ask big. Ask God to help you think bigger and better so you can live better. Ask Him for your dream.

Father, thank You that You are El Shaddai, the God of abundance, not the God of barely enough. Help me to be free from the limited mind-set to just get by. I’m taking the limits off and asking for bigger and better, for my dream. In Jesus Name, Amen.
