Topic: Stretch Further [Joel Osteen Devotional September 14 2019]

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:

“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back…”
Isaiah 54:2, NIV

TODAY’S WORD:

What a powerful picture of God’s desire for you! God doesn’t want you to just barely get by in life. He wants you to experience His abundance and live an overcoming life of victory. He wants you to constantly be increasing. He wants you to be happy in your marriage. He wants you to enjoy your work. He wants you to be continually rising to new heights. Make room for increase. Enlarge your tents. He’s saying expect more favor, more supernatural blessings. Don’t become satisfied with where you are.

We serve a big God with big plans for your future. Maybe some things haven’t worked out the way you thought they should because those plans were too small. Maybe it’s time to stretch yourself further and get a bigger vision for your life. If you’re not sure how to do that, start by asking God to increase your thinking. Ask Him to increase your capacity to receive from Him. Ask Him to enlarge your tent stakes. Continue to meditate on His Word and spend time in His presence, then watch what He will do as you stretch and grow in Him.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for believing in me, for giving me a hope and a future. Today I choose to stretch; I choose increase; I choose to rise up higher so that I can be all You’ve created me to be in Jesus’ name. Amen.
