Don't Be Moved by Joel Osteen

I think it's interesting that the apostle Paul never prayed for every challenge to go away.

Don't Be Moved by Joel Osteen
"But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself,so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God."
Acts 20:24, NKJV

TODAY'S WORD:
I think it's interesting that the apostle Paul never prayed for every challenge to go away. He prayed that God would give him the strength to go through them with a good attitude. He sought emotional maturity.



Our level of emotional maturity can be seen by how much it takes to get us upset. You've heard the saying, "A small pot boils the quickest." That means if we don't keep our emotions in check, we'll always be stressed out and make mountains out of molehills. If we lose our cool because our child forgot his or her homework, or we're aggravated because somebody didn't do something we wanted them to do, then we're not passing the test. We've got to grow and mature to the point where we can say what the apostle Paul said, "None of these things move me." He said in effect, "It's no big deal. I'm not worried about it. I trust God. I have a destiny to fulfill."

Today, choose to see things from God's perspective. Keep your emotions in check. Don't be moved by your circumstances; instead, trust God because He is faithful. He's working behind the scenes, and He will fulfill His promises to you!

PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, thank You for doing a work in my life. Thank You for molding me and shaping me into Your image. I ask for Your supernatural joy and strength to stand strong no matter what I face in Jesus' name. Amen."
