Today's Word with Joel Osteen - October 13, 2014 [Devotional]

Set the Tone

Today's Scripture

“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.” (Psalm 34:1, NLT)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing you think about? What’s the first thing you say? Do you set the tone for success, favor and blessing? Yesterday may have had some hardships or some difficulties, but it’s a new day. We should be on the lookout for God’s blessings.

The scripture tells us that the darker it gets in the world, the brighter it’s going to be for God’s people. The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn shining brighter until the new day. Things may be bad all around you, people may be negative, complaining and discouraged, but don’t let that rub off on you. The worse it gets, the brighter you’re going to shine. Be determined to set the tone for your day by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future. Be determined to shine. Stand strong in faith and set the tone for your future!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, I choose to bless You at all times. I choose to set the tone today to receive Your favor, grace and mercy. Thank You for Your faithfulness to me at all times in Jesus’ name! Amen!

I try to set the tone for worship, obedience and being God’s servant, irrespective of whether material blessings are forthcoming. In fact, with all of the material blessings I have received (although I am far from wealthy) I see it as my Christ-ordered duty to give as much as I can, of my time, my energy and my material blessings.
