Today's Word | Joel Osteen Ministries: Who Is Your Father? Feb 13, 2023 Today’s Scripture Galatians 4:6, NIV Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." Today’s Word When King Saul saw David take down Goliath with only a slingshot and stone, he stood there in disbelief. How could David fight like a warrior and where did he learn to speak so powerfully against a giant? Where did he get the heroic courage, the leadership, the training? In 1 Samuel 17, when Saul met with David, he asked, "Who is your father?" Saul was perplexed that David's father could be an ordinary shepherd, not realizing that our greatness, the hero in us, doesn't come from our natural father. Here's the key: You come through your father, but you come from Almighty God. He formed you in your mother's womb and knows how to cause the gifts He put in you to come out, how to make you shine. Your time is coming. You're going to accomplish dreams bigger than others imagine. People are going to wonder, "How could you get a college degree, start that business, or lead that company in sales?" What you're going to accomplish is not going to match where you've come from.

Who Is Your Father?

Galatians 4:6, NIV
Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."

Today’s Word

When King Saul saw David take down Goliath with only a slingshot and stone, he stood there in disbelief. How could David fight like a warrior and where did he learn to speak so powerfully against a giant? Where did he get the heroic courage, the leadership, the training? In 1 Samuel 17, when Saul met with David, he asked, "Who is your father?" Saul was perplexed that David's father could be an ordinary shepherd, not realizing that our greatness, the hero in us, doesn't come from our natural father.

Here's the key: You come through your father, but you come from Almighty God. He formed you in your mother's womb and knows how to cause the gifts He put in you to come out, how to make you shine. Your time is coming. You're going to accomplish dreams bigger than others imagine. People are going to wonder, "How could you get a college degree, start that business, or lead that company in sales?" What you're going to accomplish is not going to match where you've come from.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that You are not just good, but You are my great Father. Thank You for every good gift that You put in me and for how You are going to cause me to shine. I believe that You are going to accomplish more through my life than I can imagine. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Commentary Blessings contested by trouble, sickness and slander 1. Blessings on those who care for the poor Blessings  follow those ‘who have regard for the weak’ (v.1) – those who care, for example, about the poor, th

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing."

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
